Article 22 - The role of the judge in finding out the truth


(1) The judge resolves the dispute according to the rules of law applicable to him.

(2) The judge has the duty to strive, by all legal means, to prevent any mistake regarding the
discovery of the truth in the case, based on the establishment of the facts and by the correct
application of the law, in order to pronounce a sound and legal decision. For this purpose, with
regard to the factual situation and the legal reasoning that the parties invoke, the judge has the
right to ask them to present explanations, orally or in writing, to put into their debate any factual
or legal circumstances, even if they are not mentioned in the application or in the summons, to
order the administration of the evidence it considers necessary, as well as other measures
provided by law, even if the parties object.

(3) The judge can order the introduction of other persons in the case, under the conditions of the
law. The persons brought into the case in this way will have the possibility, as the case may be, to
waive the judgment or the claimed right, to accept the plaintiff's claims or to end the process
through a transaction.

(4) The judge gives or restores the legal qualification of the acts and facts brought before the
court, even if the parties have given them a different name. In this case, the judge is obliged to
discuss with the parties the exact legal qualification.

(5) However, the judge cannot change the name or the legal basis if the parties, by virtue of an
express agreement regarding rights that, according to the law, they can dispose of, have
established the legal qualification and legal grounds on which they have agreed to limit the
debates, if the rights or legitimate interests of others are not violated.

(6) The judge must rule on everything that was requested, without exceeding the limits of the
investment, except in cases where the law would order otherwise.

(7) Whenever the law reserves the judge's discretion or requires him to take into account all the
circumstances of the case, the judge will take into account, among others, the general principles
of law, the requirements of fairness and good faith.

Article 23 - Due respect for justice


(1) Those present at the court session are obliged to show due respect to the court and not to

Article 550 - Arbitration clause
Tentrom Paradise

(1) Through the arbitration clause, the parties agree that the disputes that will arise from the
contract in which it is stipulated or in connection with it will be resolved through arbitration,
indicating, under penalty of nullity, the method of appointing the arbitrators. In the case of
institutionalized arbitration, it is sufficient to refer to the institution or the rules of procedure of
the institution that organizes the arbitration.

(2) The validity of the compromise clause is independent of the validity of the contract in which it
was entered.

(3) In case of doubt, the arbitration clause is interpreted in the sense that it applies to all
misunderstandings deriving from the contract or from the legal relationship to which it refers.

Article 551 - Compromise


(1) By compromise, the parties agree that a dispute between them should be resolved through
arbitration, showing, under penalty of nullity, the subject of the dispute and the names of the
arbitrators or the method of appointing them in the case of ad hoc arbitration. In the case of
institutionalized arbitration, if the parties have not chosen the arbitrators and have not

of the respective arbitration institution.

(2) The compromise can be concluded even if the dispute between the parties is already before
another court.

Article 552 - Effectiveness of the compromise clause


The conclusion of the arbitration procedure with or without the pronouncement of a decision on
the merits of the case does not affect the effectiveness of the arbitration agreement, in the form of
the compromise clause. This will remain valid and will serve as the basis for any new arbitration
procedure that would be initiated based on it for the resolution of any dispute arising between the
parties deriving from the main contract.

Article 553 - Exclusion of court jurisdiction


The conclusion of the arbitration agreement excludes, for the litigation that is its object, the
jurisdiction of the courts.

Article 554 - Verification of the competence of the court


(1) The court, referred to a case regarding which an arbitration agreement has been concluded,
will verify its own competence and declare itself incompetent only if the parties or one of them
requests it, invoking the arbitration agreement. In this case, the court will decline its jurisdiction
in favor of the organization or institution with which the institutionalized arbitration operates,
which, based on the decision to decline, will take the necessary measures in order to establish the
arbitral tribunal. In the case of ad hoc arbitration, the court will reject the request as not being
within the jurisdiction of the court.

(2) The court will retain the case for resolution if:

a) the defendant formulated his defenses in substance, without any reservation based on the
arbitration agreement;

b) the arbitration agreement is invalid or ineffective;


c) the arbitral tribunal cannot be established for reasons clearly imputable to the defendant in the
arbitration.

(3) The conflict of jurisdiction between the arbitral tribunal and a court is resolved by the court
hierarchically superior to the one in conflict.
