On Increasing „Judicialization“ of Arbitral Rules in Croatia:Evolution of Zagreb Rules in the 1992- 2016 Period

The first Zagreb Arbitration Rules (1992) were mostly inspired by UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules (1976), with very few exceptions reflecting modern tendencies within leading arbitration institutions (primarily, ICC and VIAC), UNCITRAL Model Law, as well as some domestic procedural rules. Being introduced in early 90’s characterized by former regulatory deficiency in the field of international arbitration, they were designed to regulate only arbitration with international element. Ten years later, the new Zagreb Rules (2002) merged with purely domestic arbitration rules and introduced a unique set of rules both for arbitration with and without international element. Although one of main ideas was to design new rules which would follow the solutions of new Arbitration Act (2001), they integrated some elements which can hardly be connected to arbitration practices. Amendments of the Zagreb Arbitration Rules of 2011 only increased such “judicialization” of arbitration rules.
