Country Switzerland Court Switzerland, Tribunal fédéral (Federal Tribunal) Date 10 October 2011 Case number 5A_427/2011 Applicable NYC Provisions V | V(2) | V(2)(b) | IV | IV(1) | IV(1)(b) Source http://www.bger.ch (website of Swiss Federal Tribunal)
Languages English Summary A and B concluded a contract for the delivery of goods from A to B. Bank acted as guarantor for B, agreeing to pay the price of goods upon the presentation of certain documents by A. These were presented and payment was made. Subsequently, B entertained doubts as to the authenticity of the documents and alleged that it had not received the agreed goods. B commenced an arbitration before the Syrian Council of State, relying on a pro forma invoice dated 22 February 2001 which provided for arbitration. The Council of State found that A had used a falsified inspection certificate in the documents submitted to the bank and that A did not participate in the proceedings. B’s bank also initiated criminal proceedings against A in France; the French court found there had been no fraud. B applied to the Tribunal of First Instance in Geneva, seeking to freeze A’s assets held by D’s bank in Geneva and enforce the award. In its application it submitted faxed copies of the invoice containing the arbitration agreement. The Tribunal of First Instance found for B; its decision was upheld on appeal. A appealed again. The Swiss Federal Tribunal dismissed A’s appeal. The Federal Tribunal held that Article IV(1)(b) NYC, which requires the original arbitration agreement to be submitted for an award to be enforceable, should not be interpreted in an excessively formalistic manner. It held that although that the document submitted was not the original invoice but a faxed copy, the authenticity of the document had not been challenged by A. Arguments by A that it had not been notified to participate in the proceedings (pursuant to Article V(1)(b) NYC) and that enforcement of the award would be contrary to Swiss public policy (Article V(2)(b) NYC) were unsuccessful on the facts. see also : Link to the record https://newyorkconvention1958.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=572&opac_view=6 Attachment (2)

Country Germany Court Germany, Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf (Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf) Date 15 December 2009 Case number I-4 Sch 10/09 Applicable NYC Provisions V | IV | V(1)(b) | V(2)(b) | IV(1)(b) Source DIS Summary The Parties' U.S. parent company concluded a sales contract in 2003, which contained an arbitration clause. The Claimant assigned all rights under the contract in 2006. In 2008, the Claimant commenced arbitration before a sole arbitrator. The Defendant participated, but informed the sole arbitrator that it would not attend the hearing due to financial difficulties. The arbitrator rendered an award in 2009 in the Claimant's favor. The Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) Düsseldorf hold that the award was enforceable. It reasoned that the Claimant had supplied documents that complied with the less strict formal conditions of German law for the recognition of a foreign arbitral award, which applied in virtue of the more-favorable-right provision at Article VII(1) NYC. The Court reasoned that an award was valid and final under the applicable American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules, and that this condition must be examined by the Court of its own initiative, pursuant to German law. The fact that the Defendant did not attend the hearing did not violate due process or public policy, since it had expressly informed the arbitrator that it would not attend and was fully informed of the proceedings. The applicable AAA Rules provided that an award did not have to contain reasons, and this possibility does not violate basic principles of German law. see also : Link to the record https://newyorkconvention1958.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=306&opac_view=6 Attachment (1)

Languages English Summary On 6 May 2003, Bunge S.A. of Geneva Switzerland (“Bunge”) and Shenzhen Light Industrial Products Bonded Trade Co. (“Shenzhen Light”) entered into a contract of affreightment in which Shenzhen Light was to deliver goods from China to Brazil. The parties’ agreement provided that any disputes were to be submitted to arbitration in London applying English law before three arbitrators from the shipping industry. Each party was to appoint one arbitrator and the third was to be appointed jointly by the two party-appointed arbitrators. A dispute arose between the parties and arbitration was initiated. Bunge appointed an arbitrator but Shenzhen Light refused to appoint one. In accordance with English law, Bunge’s party-appointed arbitrator became the sole arbitrator in the dispute. On 25 November 2004, an award was rendered in favour of Bunge, who then applied for recognition and enforcement before the Guangzhou Maritime Court (广州海事法院). Shenzhen Light challenged the application on the grounds that (i) Bunge had not authenticated the original arbitration agreement or a duly certified copy thereof in accordance with Article IV(1)(b) NYC, (ii) it did not receive proper notice of the appointment of the arbitrator, (iii) the composition of the arbitral tribunal, including its number, qualification and seat was contrary to the arbitration agreement and (iv) the application for enforcement exceeded the required time limit under Chinese law. The Guangzhou Maritime Court opined that the award should be recognised but not enforced. In particular, the court dismissed three of Shenzhen Light’s objections, including its argument that the award should be refused recognition and enforcement under Article IV(1)(b) NYC, but sustained its challenge that the filing of the application for enforcement had exceeded the six-month time limit under Chinese law. The court reported its opinion to the Guangdong Higher People’s Court (广东省高级人民法院) for review. The Guangdong Higher People’s Court confirmed that the arbitral award should be recognised but not enforced. In particular, the court sustained Shenzhen Light’s objection that the application for enforcement had exceeded the six-month time limit under Chinese law. The Guangdong Higher People’s Court reported its opinion to the Supreme People’s Court (最高人民法院) for review in accordance with the Notice of the Supreme People's Court on the Adjudication of the Relevant Issues About Foreign-related Arbitration and Foreign Arbitral Matters by the People’s Court. The Supreme People’s Court confirmed that the arbitral award should be recognised. As for the enforcement of the award, the court found, with reference to Article IV NYC, that the determination of whether an application for enforcement was filed within the required six-month time limit under Chinese law was calculated from the time the applicant received the duly authenticated original award or duly certified copy thereof. The court directed the Guangdong Higher People’s Court to identify the relevant date and make a decision on the timeliness of the application for enforcement on that basis according to Chinese law.

Languages English Summary In relation to a joint venture contract for the exploration of Lithuanian oil fields, a tribunal constituted under the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), seated in Copenhagen, ordered the Respondents, a foreign state and a company incorporated under the laws of that state, to pay damages to the Applicant as joint and several debtors. The foreign state issued a resolution stating that it did not consider it appropriate to seek annulment of the award at the seat of the arbitration. The Applicant applied for enforcement of the award in Germany. The foreign state opposed enforcement before the Kammergericht (Higher Regional Court Berlin) arguing that (i) it was not a party to the arbitration agreement, (ii) the arbitration agreement did not encompass disputes regarding the oil fields, (iii) this was a dispute about natural resources which were in the public law domain and thus not susceptible to arbitration, and (iv) that it had not been fully granted the right to be heard. The foreign state further argued that its resolution did not constitute a waiver of the right to seek an annulment of the award and that the time limit for seeking annulment had not yet passed. In addition, it sought that the arbitral tribunal’s factual findings be fully reassessed by the Kammergericht. The Respondent company opposed enforcement of the award, stating that (i) the Applicant had not fulfilled the formal requirements for enforcement as it had not submitted a notarized translation of the arbitration agreement, (ii) that the application for enforcement would constitute an abuse of law as the Applicant was not willing to comply with the award issued for the counter claims raised by the Respondent company, and (iii) that the recognition and enforcement of the award would be contrary to German public policy. It further argued that it did not have any attachable assets in Germany due to which the Kammergericht did not have jurisdiction over it. The Kammergericht declared the award enforceable against the Respondent state but not the company. It found that the application met the formal requirements for a declaration of enforceability and that pursuant to Section 1064 paras 1 and 3 of the German Civil Procedure Code the Applicant need only provide a certified copy of the arbitral award. It held that while Articles IV(1)(b) and IV(2) NYC required submission of the original arbitration agreement or a certified copy, and a certified translation of the award, under the more-favorable-right provision at Article VII(1) NYC, the less stringent requirements of German law would be applicable. The Kammergericht noted that this interpretation was also in line with Article III NYC according to which the recognition of foreign awards could not be subject to substantially more onerous conditions than the recognition of domestic awards. On the merits, the Kammergericht concluded that the Respondent state was precluded from raising objections since it had previously, by way of its resolution, abstained from seeking annulment of the award at the arbitral seat, even though the award could only be set aside at the seat. According to the Kammergericht, for the Respondent state to object to enforcement now was in contradiction to its previous stance and against good faith. With respect to the Respondent company, the Kammergericht refused to declare the award enforceable, finding that the application was inadmissible since the company did not own assets in Germany. The Kammergericht concluded that its finding of inadmissibility was not barred under the NYC as it did not involve a decision on the merits of the dispute and the NYC did not address general admissibility requirements in addition to the specific requirements stipulated in the NYC. reversed by : see also :
