Summary

The Court of Appeals granted recognition and enforcement of an ICC award rendered in Switzerland. The claimant met the requirements of Art. IV of the 1958 New York Convention by supplying a copy of the award certified by an Albanian notary public, together with an Albanian translation from the original English made by a certified translator. There were no grounds for refusal under Albanian law; no grounds for refusal under Art. V(1) of the Convention were either claimed or proved, and no grounds under Art. V(2) appeared to exist.
