The Supreme Court decided on the same day two separate applications for a preliminary ruling on jurisdiction. Bluemar had filed a possessory action for reacquisition (reintegrazione nel possesso) and a request for a preliminary expert report (accertamento tecnico preventivo) in respect of a vessel it had chartered from Attika. Attika relied on the arbitration clause in the charter party to argue the lack of jurisdiction of the Italian court. In the present decision, no. 9380, the Supreme Court found that the arbitration clause deprived the Italian courts of jurisdiction to order a preliminary expert report. In decision no. 9381 (ITALY 124 B), on the contrary, the Court held that a possessory action fell within the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts.
