Il appartient au juge de fond, sur base des faits qu’il constate, d’apprécier souverainement s’il ya prorogation tacite du délai. La jurisprudence induit généralement une prorogation du délai de la participation de toutes les parties à l’instance, se traduisant par des actes positifs et sans équivoques, sans protestation ni réserve. Il en est ainsi si les parties assistent librement à une phase de l’arbitrage après expiration de délai initialement convenu”.
