United States District Court, Southern District of New York, 9 February 2023, 22-cv-7569 (PKC)
(High Hope Zhongtian Corporation v. Sunbird USA Inc)
UNITED STATES 9 February 2023 High Hope
In a very short decision, the Court granted High Hope’s default motion to grant confirmation of a CIETAC award, finding that High Hope had met its burden to supply the documents provided forn in Art. IV of the New York Convention, and that no grounds for refusal under Art. V of the Convention had been raised or were apparent.
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.
