Arbitration, issued in July 2008 by three persons chosen by the parties should put an end to this long affair in which the former Minister of the City and former President of OM said defrauded by the bank. Subject: the sale of Adidas, Mr Tapie had purchased prior to disposal in 1993.

The award had given rise to a controversy over the choice to give up justice ordinary and the amount of money allocated. Two years earlier, the Court of Cassation quashed a judgment of the Court of Appeal in 2005 compensating Mr Tapie up to 135 million euros. The situation had changed again with the opening of a criminal investigation.
