The applicants sought to enforce a Chinese arbitral award of approximately $10 million CAD against the respondent in Ontario.
The respondent opposed enforcement, arguing she did not receive proper notice of the arbitration and that the arbitration was not 'international' under the Model Law.
The court found that the respondent was properly served in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and that the arbitration was international because the respondent habitually resided in Canada when the arbitration agreement was made.
The application to recognize and enforce the award was granted.
