Article 1455

If a physical or legal person is charged with the organization of the arbitration, the mission of arbitrator shall be conferred upon one or more arbitrators accepted by all the parties.

Failing such acceptance, the person charged with the organization of the arbitration shall invite each party to appoint an arbitrator and if necessary proceed to the appointment of an additional arbitrator to complete the arbitral tribunal. If the parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, the person charged with the organization of the arbitration shall make the appointment.

The arbitral tribunal may also be constituted directly in accordance with the method set forth in the preceding paragraph.

The person charged with the organization of the arbitration may provide that the arbitral tribunal shall only render a draft award and that the dispute shall be submitted to a second arbitral tribunal if one of the parties objects to this draft. In such case the person charged with the organisation of the arbitration shall appoint the members of the second arbitral tribunal; each party may request the replacement of one of the arbitrators so appointed.
