Challenge of Arbitral Award
A Russian company has challenged an Arbitral Award rendered in Stockholm. The company moved that the Arbitral Award be set aside since no valid contracts, nor an arbitration agreement, between the parties in the arbitration existed. The validity of the contracts was conditional upon the approval of the Board of Directors of both companies. An approval should have been submitted from the counter party, a Swedish company, in form of minutes from a board meeting. Such minutes did however not exist. The Svea Court of Appeal found that it was showed that the Board of Directors of the Swedish company had approved the contracts. The fact that the Swedish company did not comply with the provisions in the Swedish Companies Act as regards the keeping of minutes was irrelevant in this context. The Russian company’s challenge was thus dismissed.
