Without opposing to the doctrine of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which has facilitated an extensive ex officio validity control of the arbitration agreement by the state courts in the area of consumer protection, this paper argues that perhaps this doctrine could be moderated according to the procedural conduct of the party in litigation, in order not to disproportionately affect core elements of the arbitration such as: the parties' consent, the Kompetenz-Kompetenz rule and the limited court involvement.

This article aims to study objective arbitrability in domestic arbitration in Colombia. This article proposes a catalog or list of matters that are not arbitrable originating in the law itself, in the various decisions that the courts and doctrine have uttered. In addition, this text comments on particular areas or topics that, although arbitrable, have proved currently controversial for the arbitrators' knowledge. After identifying and studying the issues that are not arbitrable in Colombia and then refer to certain specific issues that may be submitted to arbitration (that are worth mentioning), it is concluded that, as a result of the freedom of the law, a list of non-arbitrable matters in Colombia has been built. This list at no time is intended to be limiting or much less taxative, but that reflect the evolution that the legislator and the courts have had in its continuous construction. For the elaboration of this list, the dogmatic method of legal investigation has been used, which takes into account the legal provisions, doctrine and jurisprudence of the High Courts in Colombia.
