Article 1485 of the French Code of civil procedure

The award relieves the arbitral tribunal of jurisdiction over the dispute it resolves.

However, at the request of a party, the arbitral tribunal may interpret the award, correct material errors and omissions affecting it or supplement it where it has omitted to rule on a head of claim. It shall rule after hearing the parties or the parties being called.

If the arbitral tribunal cannot be reconvened and if the parties cannot agree to reconstitute it, this power belongs to the court that would have had jurisdiction in the absence of arbitration.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1485

La sentence dessaisit le tribunal arbitral de la contestation qu’elle tranche.

Toutefois, à la demande d’une partie, le tribunal arbitral peut interpréter la sentence, réparer les erreurs et omissions matérielles qui l’affectent ou la compléter lorsqu’il a omis de statuer sur un chef de demande. Il statue après avoir entendu les parties ou celles-ci appelées.

Si le tribunal arbitral ne peut être à nouveau réuni et si les parties ne peuvent s’accorder pour le reconstituer, ce pouvoir appartient à la juridiction qui eût été compétente à défaut d’arbitrage.
