El principio de congruencia en el procedimiento arbitral.

The article looks at similarities and differences in the application of the consistency principle in the judicial process and in arbitration proceedings, plus the claim of inconsistency as a ground for annulment of an arbitral award under the Ley de Arbitraje [Arbitration Act]. Doctrinal decisions of the Spanish Supreme Court and High Courts of Justice in this matter are also examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
