Court of Ravenna, judgment of 18 June 2026, No. 450

The arbitration clause contained in the articles of association of a cooperative company, which refers to arbitrators disputes concerning corporate relationships, encompasses disputes relating to claims arising from the assignment of works by the cooperative to its associated undertakings, since such relationships have their source in the associative bond.
Where the court that issued the order for payment lacks jurisdiction by reason of the arbitration clause, the court hearing the opposition must declare the lack of jurisdiction, the nullity of the order for payment and its revocation, setting a peremptory time limit for the resumption of proceedings before the arbitrators.
