This Practice Note considers the procedures for the recognition and enforcement of arbitration (arbitral) awards in China under the China Arbitration Law and Civil Procedure Law, the Supreme People’s Court rules on the enforcement of arbitration awards issued to registered foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) and the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. It covers the requirement to comply with the award, the grounds on which the court can refuse enforcement and judicial barriers to enforcement. It also explains the Supreme People’s Court’s interpretations for reviewing the enforcement of arbitration awards, including a lifting of requirements for notarisation and legalisation of foreign arbitral awards. This process may be referred to as: enforcing, confirming and recognising arbitral awards though the national courts in the People’s Republic of China; and how do you enforce a foreign commercial arbitration award in China.
