A court of first instance and a court of appeal had granted recognition and enforcement of an ICC final award rendered in Switzerland. The merits of the issue had been decided in a partial award; the final award ordered the Profilo parties to bear the other party’s arbitration costs and expenses. Both courts had dismissed the contention that the costs and expenses were not justified, and that enforcement of the final award would violate public policy as it would impose an intolerable financial burden on the Turkish economy or Turkish public institutions. The Court of Cassation upheld the decisions below.
