On January 30, 2025, two arbitral awards issued under the
auspices of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration
Commission (CIETAC) were recognized by the U.S. District Court for
the Central District of California and the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York. This marked the first time U.S.
courts granted recognition of CIETAC awards in 2025.
In both of these cases, the U.S. courts cited Section 207 of the
U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, emphasizing that foreign arbitral
awards shall be recognized unless grounds for refusal under the New
York Convention apply. No such grounds were made out on the facts
of each case.
