The administrative contract, non-arbitrability, and the recognition and execution of awards annulled in the country of origin: the case ofCommisa v Pemex

Abstract

This article analyses the recognition of foreign arbitration awards annulled in their country of origin using Commisa v Pemex as a case study. It considers the origins and causes of the award’s annulment by Mexican courts, its subsequent enforcement by a New York federal court and considers whether the particular circumstances of annulment play or should play a role in enforcement procedures.
