Principles of Decency and Fairness Require Domestic Enforcement of Nullified Arbitration Award: Second Circuit | Practical Law
In Corporación Mexicana De Mantenimiento Integral v. Pemex‐Exploración Y Producción, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment confirming an arbitration award in the US, even though a Mexican court judgment nullified the award. The court held that a judgment is unenforceable as against public policy to the extent that it is repugnant to fundamental notions of what is decent and just in the state where enforcement is sought.
