Vous pouvez obtenir ce que vous avez négocié ou non : une ordonnance de mise sous séquestre écarte une clause d’arbitrage dans l’affaire Mundo Media

L’arbitrage est un mode consensuel de résolution des différends qui permet aux parties de personnaliser leur processus et même de choisir leur propre décideur.
