If a party to the arbitral proceedings intends to rely on an authentic or private deed to which it was not a party or on a document held by a third party, it may, at the invitation of the arbitral tribunal, summon that third party before the president of the judicial court for the purpose of obtaining the issue of a copy or the production of the deed or document.
The territorial jurisdiction of the president of the judicial court is determined in accordance with Articles 42 to 48.
The claim is lodged, investigated and judged according to the accelerated procedure on the merits.
The President, if he considers the application to be well-founded, shall order the delivery or production of the deed or document, in original, copy or extract, as the case may be, under the conditions and subject to the guarantees that he shall determine, if necessary under penalty of a fine.
This decision is not enforceable by operation of law.
It may be appealed within fifteen days of service of the decision.
