Article
11 of the Law of 18 November 2016, stated to be a “modernization of Justice in
the 21st century”, modified article 2061 of the Civil Code relating to
arbitration clauses. The terms of the modified article will require
interpretation. Whilst the scope of an arbitration clause’s effect
may have been extended, the legal regime applicable thereto may have become
less precise. This article aims to remove ambiguity from the revised article
2061. The Law also introduced a few semantic alterations which affect other
aspects of arbitral vocabulary, but these do not pose any problem.
