SECTION 13 — Seat of the arbitration

The seat of the arbitration shall be determined by the arbitration agreement or by a later agreement of the parties. Failing such agreement, it shall be determined by a decision of the Court rendered before the file is transmitted to the arbitrator. After consultation with the parties, the arbitrator may decide to conduct the hearing in any other place. In case of disagreement, the Court shall rule on the matter. Where the circumstances render impossible or difficult the conduct of hearings at the decided place, the Court may, at the request of the parties, or any of them, or the arbitrator, fix another seat.
