The challenge of an arbitral award on grounds of violation of rules of law is admissible exclusively when the arbitration clause was agreed prior to the amendments introduced by Legislative Decree 2 February 2006, n. 40, whereas it is inadmissible for arbitration clauses subsequent to such reform.
Territorial jurisdiction for the challenge of an arbitral award lies with the Court of Appeal within whose district the seat of arbitration was established, regardless of the parties' domicile or the place where procedural activities were conducted.
In arbitral proceedings, a claim directed against a natural person in their capacity as director of a legal person is deemed to be brought against the latter and not against the natural person, with consequent passive standing of the represented entity.
