A. LEGISLATION, TRENDS AND TENDENCIES
There have been no significant changes to Peruvian arbitration
legislation in the last year.

B. CASES
B.1 Arbitration Jurisdiction Depends on the Agreement of the
Parties
In 2013, in the case of CES-SISA,5 the Constitutional Tribunal
ruled that a party may be subject to arbitration jurisdiction only
in cases in which the party has previously agreed to submit to
arbitration jurisdiction. In this case, the Consortium CES-SISA
questioned the jurisdiction of a civil court to rule on a tort claim
brought by the General Controllership of the Republic against it.
The Consortium argued that as the claim was related to a
contract concluded under the Peruvian Purchase Act, all
controversies were subject to arbitration jurisdiction. The
Constitutional Tribunal rejected this argument.
