The Supreme Court of Justice granted recognition of an award issued in Chile. As the respondent did not raise any grounds to resist exequatur, the Court examined whether the subject matter of the dispute was arbitrable and whether recognition would violate Colombian public policy, these being the only two defenses to be examined on the Court’s own initiative in accordance with Colombian law, which mirrors in this respect Art. V of the New York Convention. In the case at issue, the dispute decided in the arbitration was arbitrable, as it concerned a contract for the sale and purchase of fresh fruit, and there was no indication that the award was at odds with the fundamental principles of Colombian public policy. The Court also noted that the applicant had duly supplied a copy of the arbitral award and the arbitration agreement in accordance with Colombian law, which provided for less strict requirements than Art. IV of the New York Convention and therefore applied pursuant to the Convention’s more-favorable-right provision. Hence, it was not necessary for the applicant to supply the original award and arbitration agreement, as required by Art. IV of the Convention.
