Our firm is proud to announce the publication of an article, in French language, written by our partner, Iliass Segame, entitled "The extension of the arbitration convention to non-signatory parties under Moroccan law” in the double issue of the Gazette of the Courts of Morocco n° 167 November/December 2019.

In this regard, Iliass indicates that “the contracts’ relative effect is, in principle, an obstacle to any extension of the arbitration agreement to non-signatory parties. Notwithstanding the absence of a textual foundation allowing such a mechanism and in favor of the efficiency of the arbitral procedure, an exception to this rule is often made by arbitrators in matters of international disputes. In view of the success of this mechanism, the transposition of the rules relating to this mechanism into internal matters is also considered”.
