Court of Varese, judgment of 25 August 2026, No. 481

An arbitration clause which is neither specifically approved in writing nor the subject of specific individual negotiation cannot be held validly operative, with the consequent dismissal of the objection that the court seised lacks jurisdiction in favour of arbitrators.
An arbitration clause which, in addition to not being specifically approved, is not completed in all its parts cannot be held validly operative.
The objection founded on the arbitration agreement having been dismissed, the jurisdiction of the ordinary court seised must be affirmed.
