The Czech Yearbooks Project, for the moment made up of the Czech Yearbook of International Law® and the Czech (& Central European) Yearbook of Arbitration®, began with the idea to create an open platform for presenting the development of both legal theory and legal practice in Central and Eastern Europe and the approximation thereof to readers worldwide. This platform should serve as an open forum for interested scholars, writers, and prospective students, as well as practitioners, for the exchange of different approaches to problems being analyzed by authors from different jurisdictions, and therefore providing interesting insight into issues being dealt with differently in many different countries

The scope of binding mandatory provisions of procedural and substantive law seems to be one of the most important problems of arbitration, especially international arbitration. It is connected to various other concerns, e.g. the law applicable to various elements of arbitration, mainly the arbitration agreement, but also arbitrability. Poland, with its Private International Law of 2011, is a party to the European Convention on Arbitration and the New York Convention. It attempted to resolve this issue in a clear manner. Even a confirmed indication of the law governing arbitration and the arbitration agreement to be specific does not necessarily signify that there is unambiguity as to which substantive, procedural and public law provisions are mandatory and thus binding upon a court of arbitration. The answer to this question is of paramount importance for the parties as the violation of mandatory provisions of law can lead to the setting aside of an arbitral award or to the denial of its enforcement or recognition. This paper discusses these issues from the perspective of the arbitration background of the Republic of Poland with its relatively new arbitration law and private international law
