What was the background to the decision?
In a recent decision, Corporacion Mexicana de Matenimiento Integral, S De RL De CV v Pemex-Exploracion y Produccion, No 13-4022 (2d Cir Aug 2, 2016), the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a district court decision recognising an arbitral award that had been set aside by a court in Mexico, where the arbitration was seated. In doing so, the court added to a small but growing list of international decisions en-forcing annulled awards. At the same time, the court reinforced a restrictive approach to the issue of enforc-ing annulled awards not seen in decisions by courts from other jurisdictions.
