Norwegian Ruling Limits The Scope Of Arbitration Clauses In Relation To Third Parties
The Norwegian Supreme Court's Appeals Committee has ruled that arbitration clauses cannot bind third parties without explicit contractual agreement, even when those parties have close commercial or group ties to the original contract. This decision clarifies the boundaries of arbitration agreements and emphasizes that contractual basis, rather than commercial proximity, determines who can be compelled to arbitrate disputes.

Norsk kendelse afgrænser voldgiftsklausulers rækkevidde over for tredjeparter
En norsk højesteretskendelse fra april 2026 fastslår, at en voldgiftsklausul i en skibsbygningskontrakt ikke kunne udvides til at omfatte et moderselskab, der havde stillet garanti for datterselskabets forpligtelser. Afgørelsen understreger, at voldgift kræver et klart aftaleretligt grundlag, og at tæt kommerciel eller koncernmæssig tilknytning ikke i sig selv kan erstatte en eksplicit aftale om voldgift.
