Kompetenz-kompetenz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
