Requirements for Security in English Foreign Award Enforcement Actions

This alert follows our previous review of the judgment of the U.K. Supreme Court in IPCO (Nigeria) Limited v Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation [2017] UKSC 16 (IPCO). That case concerned a challenge to enforcement of a New York Convention arbitration award and considered whether the provision of security on the award value could be made a prerequisite to launching such a challenge. In a unanimous judgment, the Supreme Court held the provision of security may only be made a prerequisite in cases of adjournment pending resolution of a challenge in the courts of the seat of arbitration.

Venezuela’s Exchange Controls – How to recover monies owed by the Government of Venezuela

Since 2003, Venezuela has maintained strict controls on the exchange of the local currency (bolívares) into hard currency.

However, such measures appear uncertain and risk causing a substantial devaluation of Venezuela’s local currency. Depending on how companies have structured their investments into Venezuela, they may be able to use international investment agreements (IIAs) to seek a negotiated solution or pursue international arbitration against Venezuela to recover their funds.
