Enforcement of foreign awards in the UAE: a u-turn ahead?
Practice Area: Arbitration
Sector: Business services
Jurisdiction: United Arab Emirates
Published: 21 November 2011
Law Firm: Habib Al Mulla & Company
Overview
It is commonplace in international arbitration theory that an arbitral award is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is easily enforceable. This briefing studies the UAE to demonstrate how unfortunately, enforceability is not always a given in international arbitration practice. In doing so, the old and new UAE approaches are analysed in depth and detail is given on how the New York Convention may enforce a u-turn in the enforcement of foreign awards in the UAE.
