An arbitration clause is an agreement by which the parties to one or more contracts undertake to submit to arbitration disputes which may arise in relation to such contract(s). A submission agreement is an agreement by which the parties to a dispute submit such dispute to arbitration. Article 1443 In order to be valid, an arbitration agreement shall be in writing. It can result from an exchange of written communications or be contained in a document to which reference is made in the main agreement. Article 1444 An arbitration agreement shall designate, including by reference to arbitration rules, the arbitrator or arbitrators, or provide for a procedure for their appointment. Alternatively, Articles 1451 through 1454 shall apply. Article 1445 In order to be valid, a submission agreement shall define the subject matter of the dispute. *** Article 1446 Parties may submit their dispute to arbitration even where proceedings are already pending before a court. *** Article 1447 An arbitration agreement is independent of the contract to which it relates. It shall not be affected if such contract is void. If an arbitration clause is void, it shall be deemed not written. Article 1448 *** When a dispute subject to an arbitration agreement is brought before a court, such court shall decline jurisdiction, except if an arbitral tribunal has not yet been seized of the dispute and if the arbitration agreement is manifestly void or manifestly not applicable. *** A court may not decline jurisdiction on its own motion. Any stipulation contrary to the present article shall be deemed not written. *** Article 1449 The existence of an arbitration agreement, insofar as the arbitral tribunal has not yet been constituted, shall not preclude a party from applying to a court for measures relating to the taking of evidence or provisional or conservatory measures. 431 http://www.paris http://www.arbitration.com
