Summary


The Amsterdam Court of Appeal granted enforcement of an award rendered in London, noting succinctly that the applicant had supplied the documents required under the New York Convention, that the defendant had not appeared in the enforcement proceeding and therefore had not raised any grounds for refusal of enforcement, and there appeared to be no violation of Dutch public policy.
