disagree  Attorney DC Bar: It's an order, not a ruling, and it's made in a special kind of proceeding: summary proceedings.

  -> Your specialised knowledge vs. my dictionary: you win hands down. What I understood is that it's a court rather than just an opinion here. Correct?

disagree  Attorney DC Bar: An interlocutory order is made in a pending proceeding, prior to final adjudication on the merits. Here, there is no pending proceeding. Rather, application is made to the court in summary proceedings, because the two arbitrators can't agree on the third.

neutral  Christopher RH: with rufinus - "référé" can be interlocutory, but is broader in scope and in this case, it isn't.

agree  cmwilliams (X): yes, or emergency proceedings. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/645034

agree  CFK TRAD: Agree ; "summary" instead of "emergency" here, as the appointment of an arbitrator and/or an expert cannot be seen as truly and technically an "emergency" in French law (even though I know it's the way lawyers proceed to go faster !!)

giving a ruling as referee


Explanation:
OK, no agreement as to a third arbitrator by two arbitrators. So the Presiding Judge acts as a referee on the matter and appoints the third arbitrator himself.
Isn't that the crux of it?

disagree  Attorney DC Bar: Sorry, but "en référé" is a specific kind of proceeding and has nothing to do with referees.

in response to an application.


Explanation:
The phrase is often omitted.. Simply, the President will not act of his own motion but has to be asked. I would not say "summary proceedings" here since that term implies that an entire case is disposed of rapidly, whereas the appointment of the third arbitrator (usually known as an "umpire" in cases such as this) is merely an intermediate step in a procedure.
