Summary

Recognition in Switzerland of an arbitral award rendered in France (Art. V para. 1 letter (e) of the New York Convention of 10 June 1958). The mere fact that an action to set aside the award can be or has been filed in the country where it was rendered against an award for which recognition is sought in a third-State does not, in principle, affect its compulsory character (“binding”) (recital 2). Suspension of the award in the State of origin is a ground for challenging the award, within the meaning of Art. V para.1 letter e of the New York Convention, only if it was ordered in a judgment (recital 3).
