Court of Appeal of Palermo, order of 6 July 2026 (R.G. 00000232/2024)

A complaint against the decree declaring an award enforceable under art. 825, last co., cod. proc. civ. concerns exclusively the formal extrinsic regularity of the award, so that issues relating to the validity or merits of the arbitral decision, which are reserved to the action for annulment, cannot be raised, and the proceedings must not be stayed pending the outcome of the latter.
A stay of the enforceability of the award ordered in the annulment proceedings does not extinguish the interest in the determination of the complaint against the enforceability decree.
Proceedings for a declaration of enforceability of an award are summary chamber proceedings with no peremptory time limits or preclusions, so that a certified copy of the arbitration agreement may be filed until the case is reserved for decision.
