Kompetenz-kompetenz

Kompetenz-kompetenz, or competence-competence, is a jurisprudential doctrine whereby a legal body, such as a court or arbitral tribunal, may have competence, or jurisdiction, to rule as to the extent of its own competence on an issue before it. The concept arose in the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.[1] Since then, kompetenz-kompetenz has often been important in international arbitration.[2][3]

Origin

In arbitration

The doctrine of kompetenz-kompetenz is enshrined in the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and Arbitration Rules.[4][5] Article 16(1) of the Model Law and article 23(1) of the Arbitration Rules both dictate that "[t]he arbitral tribunal shall have the power to rule on its own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence or validity of the arbitration agreement."[6][7]

gollark: 2.4GHz and 5GHz are different, er, frequencies, though stuff doesn't run at exactly those frequencies but generally around them.
gollark: That's not really quite accurate.
gollark: You mean 5GHz WiFi or 5G the unneceesary mobile standard?
gollark: RFTools has a builder block thing which can copy areas if you feed in the items, which makes the difficult bit just autoproducing all the items involved, which other mods can do okayishly.
gollark: It would probably be easier to just use CC and OC at least for central coordination and stuff.
