Citation: 4A_223/2024 E. 6

Dans un premier moyen, la recourante, invoquant l'art. 190 al. 2 let. b LDIP, reproche au Tribunal arbitral d'avoir excédé les limites de sa compétence découlant de l'art. 14.4 du contrat de consortium, lequel a la teneur suivante: "14.4 In the event that arbitration proceedings hereunder occur concurrently with and are related to any arbitration proceedings under the CONTRACT [le contrat CR1], it is agreed that such arbitration proceedings under the AGREEMENT [le contrat de consortium] shall be stayed pending the conclusion, either by settlement or by award, of the arbitration proceedings under the CONTRACT. Any settlement or award under the CONTRACT will be binding in respect of the arbitration proceedings under the AGREEMENT and the parties agree to submit only the question of allocation and contribution for such settlement or award, if any, to the arbitrators in the proceedings under the AGREEMENT." Avant d'examiner la recevabilité et, le cas échéant, les mérites des critiques formulées par la recourante au soutien de ce grief, il sied de rappeler certains principes.
