Arbitration: Limited discretionary power to enforce in the presence of grounds for refusal
Courts generally refuse enforcement when they find that there is a ground for refusal under the New York Convention. Some courts, however, hold that they have the power to grant enforcement even where the existence of a ground for refusal of enforcement under the Convention has been proved. They generally do so where the ground for refusal concerns a minor violation of the procedural rules applicable to the arbitration a de minimis case or the respondent neglected to raise that ground for refusal in the arbitration.1
These courts rely on the wording in the English version of Article V(1), which opens with the words “Recognition and enforcement of the award may be refused …” . This wording also appears in three of the five official texts of the Convention, namely the Chinese, Russian and Spanish text. The French text, however, does not contain a similar expression and only provides that recognition and enforcement “seront refusées” , i.e., shall be refused.
