CIS/CEE series (November 2014, Belarus) Minskvodstroj v ICOR

In a ruling on 16 October, the Supreme Court of Belarus enforced the award against Belarusian company, Minskvodstroj. The Supreme Court was not convinced with the arguments that Belarusian company had not properly agreed to participate in the SCC proceedings and that the transfer of a right of claim under a contract would not automatically transfer rights under the contract’s arbitration clause.
