(Williams Grand Prix Engineering Limited v. Rokit Marketing Inc. & Rok Marketing LLC)
UNITED STATES 28 November 2022 Williams Grand Prix Engineering
The District Court granted the unopposed motion to enforce a London award, briefly noting that the petitioner had supplied the necessary documents and that not ground for refusal had been raised or appeared to exist.
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.
