A challenge raised on account of doubts about the independent and impartial decision making of an arbitrator registered in the list of arbitrators maintained by a private entity other than a permanent arbitral institution is legally meaningless if no other good reason is given as to why the person in question should not be appointed as arbitrator. Likewise, the mere inclusion of an arbitrator chosen by the claimant and the inclusion of the claimant’s legal representative in the same list of arbitrators in which lawyers from across the Czech Republic are registered is not a reason to doubt their impartial decision making.
