Observations by Emmanuel Gaillard
BACKGROUND
The reader will recall the report of the NOGA case and of the seizure of
the Russian tallship Sedov published in Stockholm Arbitration Report
2000:2, p. 89. In this present issue the question is of the procedures that
followed in the courts of Sweden and France when the winning party in
the arbitration sought to enforce the arbitral awards.
In Part II the reader will find abstracts of the judgements rendered by the
Stockholm District Court on 17 June 1998 and the Svea Court of Appeals
on 24 March 1999. These decisions are commented by Dr. Jur. Patrik
Schöldström, Stockholm.
Thereafter in Part III, follow abstracts of the French decisions, notably the
Paris Tribunal of First Instance’s (Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance)
decision on 15 March 2000 and the decision of the Paris Court of Appeals
on 22 March 2001. The French court decisions are commented by
Professor Emmanuel Gaillard, Paris.
You will note under Professor Gaillard’s observations that further
decisions are expected to be rendered in France, notably as a consequence
of the decision rendered by the Brest Tribunal of First Instance with
respect to the seizure of the Sedov. Hopefully, Stockholm Arbitration
Report will have the opportunity of reporting on that case in one of its next
issues.
