The Arbitrazh Court of the City of Moscow denied recognition and enforcement of a foreign court judgment contrary to the interests of a client of the Law Office

A foreign company filed with the Russian arbitrazh court seeking recognition and enforcement in Russia of a foreign court judgment on a corporate dispute, which deprived a client of the Law Office of title to an equity interest in a Russian company.

The client was represented by attorneys Valentin Bytensky and Dmitry Sidur who successfully argued that the court of a foreign state had ruled on a dispute falling under the exclusive competence of Russian courts, which pursuant to arbitrazh procedural laws of Russia results in denial of recognition and enforcement of such foreign judgments.

The Arbitrazh Court of the City of Moscow agreed with these arguments and denied recognition and enforcement of a foreign court judgment in Russia.
