DCC 1016/2020
This case involved enforcement of a Lebanese seated arbitration award in Dubai after the appeal of an execution judge's decision. It was argued that the ruling had been appealed in Lebanon so was not final. However, the contract stated the arbitration ruling could not be appealed.
Background
A Lebanese bank obtained an award against an Emirati individual following arbitral proceedings which were seated in Lebanon. The Claimant applied to the Dubai Courts seeking enforcement of the foreign award in line with Article 85 and 86 of Cabinet Decision No. 57/2018 On the Regulation of Federal Law No 11/1992 on the Civil Procedure which prescribed enforcement measures for foreign arbitral awards which were different from enforcement measures for domestic arbitral awards.
