2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§4254. Failure or impossibility to act

RS 4254 - Failure or impossibility to act A. If an arbitrator becomes de jure or de facto unable to perform his functions or for other reasons fails to act without undue delay, his mandate terminates if he withdraws from his office or if the parties agree on the termination. Otherwise, if a controversy remains concerning any of these grounds, any party may request the court to decide on the termination of the mandate, which decision shall be subject to no appeal. B. If, in accordance with this Section or R.S. 9:4253(B), an arbitrator withdraws from his office or a party agrees to the termination of the mandate of an arbitrator, this does not imply acceptance of the validity of any ground referred to in accordance with this Section or R.S. 9:4252(B).

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 9 - Civil Code-Ancillaries|§4256. Competence of arbitral tribunal to rule on its jurisdiction

RS 4256 - Competence of arbitral tribunal to rule on its jurisdiction A. The arbitral tribunal may rule on its own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence or validity of the arbitration agreement. For that purpose, an arbitration clause which forms part of a contract shall be treated as an agreement independent of the other terms of the contract. A decision by the arbitral tribunal that the contract is null and void shall not entail ipso jure the invalidity of the arbitration clause. B. A plea that the arbitral tribunal does not have jurisdiction shall be raised not later than the submission of the statement of defense. A party is not precluded from raising a plea by the fact that he has appointed, or participated in the appointment of, an arbitrator. A plea that the arbitral tribunal is exceeding the scope of its authority shall be raised as soon as the matter alleged to be beyond the scope of its authority is raised during the arbitral proceedings. The arbitral tribunal may, in either case, admit a later plea if it considers the delay justified. C. The arbitral tribunal may rule on a plea in Subsection B of this Section either as a preliminary question or in an award on the merits. If the arbitral tribunal rules as a preliminary question that it has jurisdiction, any party may request, within thirty days after having received notice of that ruling, the court in accordance with R.S. 9:4246, to decide the matter and that decision shall be subject to no appeal; while a request is pending, the arbitral tribunal may continue the arbitral proceedings and make an award.
