Arbitration proceedings under the Convention
4. (1) A party to a dispute which is the subject of an
award rendered pursuant to Article 4 of Annex II to the
Convention shall be entitled to have the award registered in
the Supreme Court subject to proof of such matters as are
prescribed by rules of court and to the other provisions of
this section.
(2) In addition to any sum payable under the award, the
award shall be registered for the reasonable costs of and
incidental to registration.
(3) If at the date of the application for registration
any sum payable under the award has been partly paid, the award
shall be registered only in respect of the balance and
accordingly if that sum has then been wholly paid the award
shall not be registered.
(4) An award registered under this section shall be
of the same force and effect for the purpose of execution as
if it had been a judgment of the Supreme Court given when the
award was rendered as mentioned in subsection (1) above and
entered on the date of registration under this section and
(a) proceedings may be taken on the award;
(b) any sum for which the award is registered
shall carry interest; and
www
(c) the Supreme Court shall have the same control
over the execution of the award,
as if the award had been such a judgment of the Supreme Court.
(5) This section shall bind the Crown but not so
to make an award enforceable against the Crown in a manner
in which a judgment would not be enforceable against the
Crown; and an award shall not be enforceable against any
State in a manner in which a judgment would not be enforceable
against that State.
