The Applicant sought recognition and enforcement of an international arbitration award against the Respondent.
The Respondent opposed, arguing the Applicant was not a legal entity and lacked standing, and moved to dismiss or stay the application.
The Applicant brought a cross-motion to amend its name in the title of proceedings.
The court granted the Applicant's motion to amend its name, finding that the use of a shorter name in the commercial agreement was permissible under Luxembourg law and that the Applicant was the correct award recipient.
The Respondent's motion to dismiss or stay was dismissed.
The court then granted the Applicant's request to recognize the arbitration award, rejecting the Respondent's arguments regarding estoppel and the arbitrator's impartiality, noting that the impartiality challenge had already been unsuccessfully litigated before the arbitration administrator.
