The existence of an arbitration agreement shall not prevent a party, as long as the arbitral tribunal has not been constituted, from bringing an action before a State court for the purpose of obtaining an investigative measure or an interim or protective measure.
Subject to the provisions governing protective attachments and judicial securities, the application shall be brought before the president of the judicial or commercial court, who shall rule on the investigative measures under the conditions provided for in Article 145 and, in urgent cases, on provisional or conservatory measures requested by the parties to the arbitration agreement.
