More Frequently Asked Questions
What is the New York Convention and how does it affect arbitration award enforcement?
The New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (1958) is the most important international treaty for arbitration award enforcement. It has been ratified by over 170 countries including Bangladesh, making it one of the most widely adopted international treaties. The New York Convention requires courts in member countries to recognize and enforce foreign arbitration awards with minimal grounds for refusal. This means that an arbitration award issued in one Convention country (e.g., Singapore, UK, USA) can be enforced in Bangladesh courts with relative ease. The Convention significantly enhances the value of arbitration by ensuring that arbitration awards are enforceable internationally, unlike court judgments which face significant obstacles to international enforcement. Barrister Remura Mahbub is Bangladesh’s leading expert on New York Convention enforcement, having successfully enforced numerous foreign arbitration awards in Bangladesh courts. She advises clients on New York Convention requirements, enforcement procedures, potential defenses, and enforcement strategies to maximize recovery of arbitration awards.
What are the grounds for challenging an arbitration award in Bangladesh?
Under the Bangladesh Arbitration Act 2001, arbitration awards can be challenged on limited grounds including: (1) Incapacity of parties – a party to the arbitration agreement was under some incapacity, (2) Invalid arbitration agreement – the arbitration agreement is not valid under applicable law, (3) Lack of proper notice – a party was not given proper notice of arbitrator appointment or arbitration proceedings, (4) Inability to present case – a party was unable to present their case due to procedural irregularities, (5) Award beyond scope – the arbitration award deals with matters beyond the scope of the arbitration agreement, (6) Improper arbitration procedure – the arbitration procedure was not in accordance with the parties’ agreement or applicable law, (7) Non-arbitrable subject matter – the subject matter of the dispute is not capable of settlement by arbitration under Bangladesh law, (8) Public policy violation – enforcement of the award would be contrary to the public policy of Bangladesh. These grounds are interpreted narrowly by Bangladesh courts to preserve the finality of arbitration awards and promote arbitration as an effective dispute resolution mechanism. Barrister Remura Mahbub has extensive experience both challenging arbitration awards on valid grounds and defending arbitration awards against improper challenges. She advises clients on the prospects of successfully challenging or defending arbitration awards based on careful analysis of the award, arbitration proceedings, and applicable law.
