The rules by which the Court of Private Arbitration is guided in disputes resolving

First of all, arbitration courts resolve conflicts on the basis of the Constitution and Laws of Ukraine, other normative legal acts and international treaties of Ukraine. In specific cases, the legal rules of foreign states may be applicable. However, if the legislation does not regulate the disputed issue or similar legal relations, then the court may apply the analogy of Law or be guided by trade and other customs that are inherent in a certain conflict in terms of content and nature.

The documents that define procedural functioning of the Court of Private Arbitration are the Rules and Regulations.
