Ukrainian Court Enforces SCC Award in ECT Arbitration
24 August 2012


The Pechersky District Court of Kyiv recently granted enforcement of an SCC arbitral award in a case between Remington Worldwide Limited (“Remington”) and the State of Ukraine.  
Remington had initiated arbitration against Ukraine, alleging violations of the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT).  The tribunal ultimately found that Ukraine violated one provision of the ECT and ordered Ukraine to compensate Remington.  Remington sought enforcement of this award through the Ukrainian courts.

On 11th of July 2012, the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv granted the request and ordered enforcement of the award.  The court found that the motion by Remington met the form and content requirements for enforcement under the New York Convention.  Specifically, the court noted that the award was final, that no procedural deficiencies existed and that the award did not contradict Ukrainian public policy.

An unofficial English translation of the award has been made by Mr. Anton Sotir, International Commercial Arbitration Law, LL.M.
