Abstract: Arbitration in Czechia has historical roots tracing back to the First Czechoslovak Republic. However, the article explores mainly the recent evolution of Czech arbitration law, addressing topics such as interim measures and significant developments in the conduct of arbitral proceedings, including the unusual role of the country’s Code of Civil Procedure or arbitrators’ duty to instruct the parties, separability of arbitration agreement, competence-competence matters, disclosures and disqualification of arbitrators, or the enforcement of arbitral awards. The authors argue that despite Czechia not being formally a fully UNCITRAL Model Law compliant jurisdiction, the country nowadays offers a globally competitive environment for arbitration, driven by recent pro-arbitration case law and experienced professionals, making it a viable seat of arbitration on the international stage.
