Arbitration case law

decreto

Court of Venice, decree of 9 June 2026 (R.G. 00001719/2026)

Tribunale of Venezia

Legal principle

An arbitration clause referring the resolution of the dispute to the judgment of an arbitrator acting as amiable compositeur must be construed as referring the dispute to a sole arbitrator and not to an arbitral panel, since the reference to "an arbitrator" unequivocally expresses the parties' intention to entrust the decision to a single person.
