Article 523
Des Arbitrages
Titre S-III:
Des Sentences Arbitrales
(On Arbitral Awards)
Chapitre Unique:
Des Arbitrages
(On Arbitrations)
Un jugement arbitral ne peut, dans aucun cas, préjudicier ni être opposé à des tiers.
Life lesson:
Arbitral awards bind only the parties — they can never be used against anyone who wasn't part of the arbitration.
Notes:
Inter partes effect only: arbitral judgment has no effect against tiers. No res judicata for non-parties. Fundamental arbitration limitation.
