The Constitutional Court held that foreign awards no longer need to be recognized (homologated) in order to be enforced in Ecuador, after the relevant provisions of the General Organic Code of Proceedings – Arts. 102-106 – were repealed. A remaining reference to the homologation requirement in Art. 365 of the Code must be deemed to have been tacitly repealed, because the legal system has to be assessed as a whole. Further, this interpretation is consistent with Art. III of the New York Convention, which provides that contracting states cannot impose substantially more onerous conditions on the enforcement of foreign awards as compared to domestic awards, for which Ecuadorean law does not require homologation.
