Under French law, can a contract switch from arbitration to mediation midstream, and what rights could be affected?

Question

We signed a commercial contract in France that includes binding arbitration. Now one party wants to switch to mediation instead of arbitration. I'm worried about deadlines, confidentiality, and whether changing track could affect remedies or enforceability of a future arbitral award.

I am ICC (Paris), LCIA (London) and CIETAC (China) arbitrator. If you have signed a contract that includes a binding arbitration clause for your dispute, you need to apply to the arbitration institution specified in the contract or pursue ad hoc arbitration. Otherwise, you can object to the jurisdiction of the court for dispute resolution and request that the dispute be resolved in arbitration.
