Utredningen har genomförts utifrån den rättshistoriska metoden för att undersöka och analysera lagstiftningens historiska utveckling över tid.
Skiljeförfarande är en alternativ tvistlösningsmetod till den ordinarie rättskipningen i domstolarna. Förfarandet kännetecknas av skyndsamhet, effektivitet, sekretess och att parterna själva har möjlighet att välja sina rättskipare. Till skillnad från en domstolsdom kan skiljedomar endast överklagas på formella grunder och förfarandet kan bli kostsamt i jämförelse med en process i domstol.
Uppsatsens utredning är uppdelad utifrån viktiga nedslag i skiljemannarättens lagstiftningsutveckling. Spår av skiljeförfarandeliknande tvistlösning återfinns i Bibeln, i grekisk mytologi och i några av världens tidigaste civilisationer. Under svensk medeltid bestod lagstiftningen på skiljemannaområdet endast av ett stadgande i Visby stadslag, men mycket talar för att tvistlösningsformen, trots den sparsamma lagstiftningen, användes i stor utsträckning. Under tidigmodern tid kom skiljemannarätten att utvidgas och bestämmelser angående skiljeförfarande återfanns i 1667 års sjölag, 1669 års exekutionsstadga och 1734 års lag. 1800-talet innebar en fortsatt utveckling av lagstiftningen på skiljemannaområdet, inledningsvis med 1826 års civillagsförslag, vilket inne-höll ett förslag till lag om skiljemän. Trots att civillagsförslaget aldrig blev lag lade det grunden för ytterligare reglering inom området. Efter en omfattande lagstiftningsprocess antogs den första speciallagstiftningen inom skiljemanna-rätten i form av 1887 års lag om skiljemän. Som motiv till lagstiftningen angavs att den då gällande lagstiftningen var alltför bristfällig och att reglering på området därmed var nödvändig. Under 1900-talets början sågs flera brister i lagstiftningen och 1887 års lag kom därför att ersättas av lag (1929:14) om skiljemän. Resterande del av 1900-talet innebar ytterligare lagstiftning på om-rådet, främst för att anpassa det svenska skiljeförfarandet till den ökade internationaliseringen inom skiljemannarätten. År 1999 var en modernisering av lagstiftningen nödvändig, varför 1929 års lag ersattes av den än idag gällande lagen (1999:116) om skiljeförfarande. (Less) - Abstract
- This essay aims to describe the legislative development within Swedish arbi-tration law. Furthermore, the essay intends to investigate the underlying fac-tors that have motivated and initiated legislative changes in arbitration law historically. In addition, the first special legislation within arbitration law will be examined with a particular focus on the preceding debate to the legislation and as to why the special legislation was adopted. The study has been con-ducted using the legal historical method to examine and analyze the historical development of legislation over time.

Arbitration is an alternative method of dispute resolution to the ordinary judicial process in the state courts. Arbitration is characterized by expediency, efficiency, confidentiality, and the opportunity for the parties to choose their own arbitrators. Unlike court judgments, arbitral awards can only be appealed on formal grounds, and the procedure can be costly compared to normal court proceedings.
The essay's investigation is divided based on significant key points in the legislative development of arbitration law. Traces of arbitration-like dispute resolution can be found in the Bible, in Greek mythology, and in some of the world's earliest civilizations. During the Swedish medieval period, legislation on arbitration consisted only of one provision in the Town Law of Visby, but there are many indications that, despite the sparse legislation, this form of dispute resolution was widely used. During the early modern period, the legislation on arbitration was expanded, and provisions regarding arbitration were found in the Maritime Code of 1667, the Execution Statue of 1669, and the Civil Code of 1734. The nineteenth century marked a continued development of legislation in the field of arbitration, initially with the Civil Code Proposal of 1826, which contained a proposal for a law on arbitrators. Although the Civil Code Proposal was never adopted, it laid the foundation for further pro-visions in the area. After an extensive legislative process, the first special legislation in the field of arbitration was adopted in the form of the Arbitrator Act of 1887. The reason and motivation given for the legislation was that the legislation in force at the time was too inadequate and that provisions in this area was therefore necessary. At the beginning of the 20th century, several short-comings in the legislation were identified and the Arbitrator Act of 1887 was therefore replaced by the Arbitrator Act of 1929 (SFS 1929:14). The remainder of the 20th century entailed further legislation in the area, mainly to adapt the Swedish arbitration procedure to the increased internationalization within arbitration law. In 1999, a modernization of the legislation was necessary, which led the Arbitrator Act of 1929 to be replaced by the Arbitration Act (SFS 1999:116), which is still in force today. (Less)
