GERMANY 167 The Court of Appeal granted recognition of an award of the Permanent Arbitration Court at the Croatian Chamber of Commerce in Zagreb. The Court first found that the claimant had complied with the less strict requirements of German law by supplying a certified copy of the award, and that it had the right to apply for recognition, independent of the fact that it had obtained provisional measures of protection in Croatia in partial satisfaction of its claim under the award, because the claimant was entitled to enforce the award in other countries. Furher, the recognition proceedings need not be stayed simply because an annulment action had been commenced in Croatia, the country of rendition; this fact also did not make the award not binding in the sense of Art. V(1)(e) of the Convention.
