| 摘要: |
| 第三方出资者与仲裁裁决的直接经济利益联系可能导致仲裁员的利益发生冲突，而资助协议中的保密条款又很容易使这种利益冲突被隐瞒而有损仲裁程序的正当性。因此，有必要建立起一套强制性的披露制度，要求被资助者必须主动披露存在第三方资助的事实和出资者的姓名或名称；关于资助协议的披露与否则应按举证标准判断，只有当特定性、相关性和实质性都满足时才能作出披露的指示。通常，履行披露义务的主体是受资助者和仲裁员，但当受资助者没有披露时，知情的代理律师也应根据职业道德和行为规范向其他各方当事人和仲裁庭作出补充披露。 |

| Third-party Funding Arbitration: Challenges to Arbitrator’s Conflict of Interest and Its Prevention |
| TAN Chenyi |
|
| Abstract: |
| The third-party funder’s direct economic interest in the arbitral award may lead to the conflict of interest of the arbitrator. However, the confidentiality clause contained in the funding agreement is highly likely to keep such conflict of interest in secret, and thereby prejudice the due process of arbitration. Hence, it is necessary to establish a set of mandatory disclosure rules, demanding the funded party voluntarily disclose the existence of third-party funding and the name of the funder. As to whether the contents of the funding agreement shall be disclosed, the standard of proof can be employed. Only when the standards of specificity, relevance and materiality are satisfied can the order of disclosure be made. Usually, the subjects of disclosure are funded parties and arbitrators. Where the funded party fails to disclose, the informed counsel shall disclose relevant information to other parties and the tribunal in accordance with professional ethnics and code of conduct. |
