Arbitration – Enforcement of Award – Foreign Awards – International Treaties – Evidence in Arabic
This case looked at the enforceability of a UK arbitration award in the UAE. The UAE had not signed the necessary international treaties and conventions and did not have a treaty with the UK on accepting awards. Evidence had to be provided to the court on the similar conditions between the UAE and the other jurisdiction on enforcements of foreign awards. In this case the appropriate evidence was not provided in Arabic.
