Article 186 of Code of Civil Procedure

An arbitrator's award may not be appealed unless the parties agree otherwise before its issuance. The appeal shall then be brought before the Court of First Instance sitting in an appellate capacity, and shall be subject to the rules prescribed for appeals against judgments issued by courts. Its time limit shall commence upon deposit of the original award with the Registry in accordance with Article (184). Nevertheless, the award shall not be appealable if the arbitrator is authorized to decide by amicable composition, is acting as an arbitrator on appeal, the value of the claim does not exceed one thousand dinars, or the award is issued by the panel provided for in Article (177). Any interested person may seek annulment of an arbitrator's final award in the following circumstances, even if otherwise agreed before its issuance: (A) If it was issued without an arbitration agreement, or on the basis of an invalid arbitration agreement or one that lapsed through expiry of the time limit, or if the award exceeded the limits of the arbitration agreement. (B) If a ground permitting a petition for reconsideration is established. (C) If the award is affected by nullity, or the proceedings are affected by nullity that influenced the award. )2(
