Article 1457 of the French Code of civil procedure

It is the arbitrator’s responsibility to continue his mission until the end of it unless he can justify an impediment or a legitimate reason for abstaining or resigning.

In the event of a dispute as to the reality of the reason invoked, the difficulty shall be settled by the person responsible for organising the arbitration or, failing this, decided by the supporting judge to whom the matter is referred within one month of the impediment, abstention or resignation.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1457

Il appartient à l’arbitre de poursuivre sa mission jusqu’au terme de celle-ci à moins qu’il justifie d’un empêchement ou d’une cause légitime d’abstention ou de démission.

En cas de différend sur la réalité du motif invoqué, la difficulté est réglée par la personne chargée d’organiser l’arbitrage ou, à défaut, tranchée par le juge d’appui saisi dans le mois qui suit l’empêchement, l’abstention ou la démission.
