Tribunal Superior de Justicia, Madrid, 6 November 2020
(SDDQSONS Tinplate Ltd v. The Centurion Tetra S.L.) rectius: Siddiqsons
SPAIN 6 November 2020 SDDQSONS Tinplate
The Court granted the application of Siddiqsons – whose name was spelled incorrectly in the decision's heading – to recognize and enforce an ICC award rendered in Paris, finding that Siddiqsons had complied with the requirements under Art. IV of the New York Convention, and that there were no grounds for refusing the application.
The court discusses the general conditions the Convention imposes on a petitioner for seeking recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award – namely, the submission of the original arbitration agreement or arbitral award or a certified copy thereof – and examines in general whether these conditions were complied in the case at issue.
The court discusses the overall scheme and/or pro-enforcement bias of the Convention.
