Are awards enforced in your jurisdiction? Under what procedure?
Egypt

Answer ... Egypt was among the very first contracting states to sign the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, and it thus has the necessary legislative infrastructure to allow for the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. Arbitral awards are enforced via order (ie, exequatur) issued by the competent national court. Any application for enforcement must be accompanied by:

  • an original copy of the award;
  • a copy of the arbitration agreement;
  • a certified Arabic translation of the award (if the award is rendered in any language other than Arabic); and
  • a copy of the procès-verbal attesting to the deposit of the award.
