Uluslararası Ticari Tahkimde Taraf Vekillerine Uygulanan Etik Kurallar ve Uygulamada Karşılaşılan Sorunlar

Uluslararası ticari tahkimde taraflar kimi zaman birden çok baroya bağlı bulunan, kimi zaman herhangi bir baroya bağlı bulunmayan veya hukuk eğitimi görmemiş bir veya birden çok vekil tarafından temsil edilmekte, tahkim yargılaması çoğunlukla taraf vekillerinin ikisinin de bağlı bulunmadığı tahkim yerlerinde cereyan etmektedir. Uluslararası tahkimin niteliği itibarıyla oluşan bu çeşitlilik taraf vekillerine birden çok ve bazı durumlarda çelişen etik kuralların uygulanmasına sebep olmakta, bu belirsizlik taraf vekillerine hangi etik kuralların uygulanacağı, etik kuralların ihlali halinde yaptırımın hangi otorite tarafından sağlanacağı, hakem kurullarının taraf vekillerini cezalandırma yetkileri bulunup bulunmadığı hususlarında birçok soruyu da beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada uluslararası ticari tahkimde taraf vekillerine uygulanan mevcut kurallar incelenecek, bu kuralların içeriği ve uygulamada karşılaşılan zorluklar değerlendirilecek ve son olarak mevcut düzenlemelerdeki eksiklikler ile yaptırım sorunu tartışılacaktır.

Ethical Rules Applicable to Party Representatives in International Commercial Arbitration and Difficulties Encountered in Practice

Parties in international commercial arbitration are represented either by one or more party representatives registered with multiple bars or not registered with a bar at all or by a layperson. The seat of arbitration is usually where neither party’s representative is licensed. This diversity arising out of the very nature of international arbitration gives rise to the application of multiple ethical rules to party’s representatives and brings up the question of which ethical rules shall be applicable to parties’ representatives, who shall be the competent authority in case of breach and whether the arbitral tribunals have legitimate power to sanction the parties’ representatives. In this article, we first examine existing ethical rules regulating the conduct of party representatives in international arbitration. Then we explain the content and difficulties encountered in the application of the said rules. Finally, we discuss the gaps of the current regulations and the enforcement issue.
