Originally from International Arbitration Law and Practice, Third Edition
The award is the final stage of arbitral proceedings, but it may also become the starting point of a new series of proceedings which aim at obtaining or avoiding the award’s enforcement. All these proceedings are examined in the last part of this study.
As Glencore1 affirmed under the applicable law (in that instance under Kenyan law) the award must be stamped and in the absence of the stamp may not be registered or acted upon.
A distinction must first be made between the effects of the award in its state of origin and its effects in other states. While the award necessarily produces effects in the former, it does not follow that it will produce effects in other States.
