Practice Notes

This Practice Note considers the increasing use of anti-arbitration injunctions by Russian entities under Article 248.1 Russian Arbitration Procedure Code (RAPC) which threatens the enforceability of arbitration agreements with EU-domiciled parties. This Practice Note examines how the EU and German legal systems provide effective countermeasures. While the EU’s sanctions framework prohibits the recognition of such injunctions and allows for damage claims, German law offers powerful remedies, including injunctive relief, declaratory relief, and compensation for legal costs. Recent German court decisions reinforce arbitration rights, demonstrating that EU entities can protect their interests without relying on traditional anti-suit injunctions.
