Legal principle
An arbitration clause is an autonomous contract with procedural effects, whose validity must be assessed independently of the contract or articles of association to which it relates.
The referral to arbitrators of non-contractual disputes connected with a contractual relationship, such as a shareholder's liability action against a director, must be expressly provided for, and failing such provision the rule of interpretation in art. 808-quater cod. proc. civ. does not apply.
