As Article 1717 of the Judicial Code allows parties to seek the setting aside of an arbitral award on the grounds that it was obtained by fraud, those parties should have a useful period of time to bring such a claim, otherwise they will be denied a remedy to which they are entitled in principle. Article 1717, § 4, of the Belgian Judicial Code violates Articles 10 and 11 of the Belgian Constitution, read in conjunction with Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, in that it does not allow a party to an arbitration to seek the setting aside of an arbitral award when that party discovers, more than three months after the communication of the award, that it was obtained by fraud.
