2018 CJO Report: Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards in China
www.chinajusticeobserver.com 1 2018 CJO Report:
Authors: MENG YU & GUODONG DU, Founders of China Justice Observer (CJO)
In 2018, Chinese courts have heard a total of 25 cases in relation to recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral
awards.
I. Annual Review
Results for recognition and enforcement of these arbitral awards are as below:
Ø 14 arbitral awards were recognized and enforced;
Ø 1 arbitral award was refused to be recognized and enforced;
Ø 1 case where the application for recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards was dismissed;
Ø 8 cases where the applicants withdrew the application for recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards;
Ø 1 case where the application for recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award was transferred to
another competent court by the court concerned.
The number of aforementioned arbitral awards made by different arbitral institutions or arbitrators:
Ø 2 Arbitral awards made by the ICC;
Ø 2 Arbitral awards made by the SIAC;
Ø 1 Arbitral award made by the KCAB;
Ø 4 Arbitral awards made by the LMAA;
Ø 4 Arbitral awards made by the ICA;
Ø 5 Arbitral awards made by the FOSFA;
Ø 1 Arbitral award made by the CAS;
Ø 1 Arbitral award made by the ICAC;
Ø 3 Arbitral awards made by ad hoc arbitrators or arbitral tribunals;
Ø 2 Arbitral awards made by unknown arbitrator or arbitral tribunal.
In 2018, the only arbitral award which was refused to be recognized and enforced was made by an ad hoc arbitrator
(See the Case of Palmer Maritime Inc.’s application for recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award made by
Patrick O’Donovan in London). The court refused to recognize and enforce the arbitral award pursuant to the public
policy exception under Article V(2)(b) of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral
Awards (the New York Convention). The court held that the arbitration agreement concerned in the arbitral award
has been invalidated by the Chinese court, and therefore, recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award would
be in violation of China's public policy. To our knowledge, it was the second time that China refused to recognize
and enforce foreign arbitral awards on the basis of public policy. (The first time when China refused to recognize and
enforce foreign arbitral awards on such ground was in Hemofarm case in 2008 (Case of Hemofarm DD, MAG
International Trading Co., Ltd. and Surah Media Co., Ltd. ‘s application for recognition and enforcement of an
arbitral award made by the ICC)). Pursuant to China’s internal report and review mechanism, if a local court intends
not to recognize a foreign arbitral award, it has to request approval by the Supreme People's Court (SPC). Therefore,

we reasonably believe that the arbitral award has been reviewed by the SPC and that SPC agreed not to recognize
and enforce it.
In 2018, there is only one case where the application was dismissed, on the ground that the applicant does not
comply with the authentication and certification requirements under Chinese law (See the case of Sea Dolphin
Shipping Ltd.’s application for recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award made by the LMAA on 16 May
2017). The applicant is a company registered in the Marshall Islands, a country that has no diplomatic relations with
China. Under such circumstances, the applicant has to comply with some special requirements on authentication
and certification under Chinese law. Considering that there is an increasing number of maritime cases involving
companies registered in the Marshall Islands, this is definitely a noteworthy case, especially for those companies to
follow China’s special rules on authentication and certification.
II. Case Summaries
1. An ad hoc arbitral award made by a sole arbitrator was refused to be recognized and enforced
Catchwords: ad hoc arbitration – arbitration agreement – public policy
The case of Palmer Maritime Inc.’s application for recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award made by the
sole arbitrator, Patrick O’ Donovan in London, UK, on 9 September 2016, against the respondent, China Animal
Husbandry Industry Co., Ltd (Case No. [2017] Jin 72 Xie Wai Ren No. 1 ([2017] 72 1 )) .
Tianjin Maritime Court registered the case on 3 January 2017, and rendered a ruling on 21 July 2018 to refuse to
recognize and enforce the said arbitral award.
The applicant is the bareboat charterer of the vessel, “TOBA”, while China Animal Husbandry Industry Co., Ltd
("CAHIC") is the holder of the bill of lading. The two parties had disputes due to cargo loss during the cargo
shipment of "TOBA". The applicant filed an arbitration request in London in accordance with the bill of lading, and
the respondent was absent from the arbitration proceedings.
The respondent filed a lawsuit in Guangzhou Maritime Court in May 2016, requesting the applicant to assume the
liabilities for damages. The applicant raised an objection to jurisdiction on the grounds that the two parties had an
arbitration agreement. On 16 October 2017 (after the above-mentioned ad hoc arbitral award was made), the
Guangzhou Maritime Court found that the arbitration clause in question was not valid and rendered the ruling “(2016)
Yue 72 Min Chu No. 75” ((2016) 72 75 ) to dismiss the applicant's objection to jurisdiction. (Note: The
applicant is dissatisfied with the ruling and appealed to the Guangdong High People's Court, which rendered the
second-instance ruling “(2017) Yue Min Xia Zhong No.857” ((2017) 857 ), reaffirming that the arbitration
clause is invalid. But the Tianjin Maritime Court did not refer to the said second-instance ruling.)
The Tianjin Maritime Court held that since the Chinese courts have negated the existence and validity of the
arbitration clause, the recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award pursuant to the above arbitration clause
would violate China's public policy. Accordingly, the Tianjin Maritime Court held that the arbitral award should not be
recognized in accordance with Article V(2)(b) of the New York Convention and the CPL.
2. The application for recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award made by the LMAA on 16 May 2017
was dismissed
Catchwords: formal conditions (authentication and certification)

The case of Sea Dolphin Shipping Ltd.’s application for recognition and enforcement of the arbitral award made by
the LMAA on 16 May 2017, against the respondent, Xiamen Jianfa Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. (Case No. [2017]
Min 72 Xie Wai Ren No. 1([2017] 72 1 )).
Xiamen Maritime Court rendered a ruling on 19 December 2018, dismissing the application for recognition and
enforcement of the said LMAA arbitral award.
The applicant and the respondent had a dispute over the voyage charter agreement, and the applicant applied to the
LMAA for arbitration. As a result, the LMAA made the arbitral award on 16 May 2016.
The court held that the applicant does not comply with the authentication and certification requirements under
Chinese law, and thus the application shall be dismissed in accordance with Article IV 1 (a) of the New York
Convention.
The court found that the applicant is a company registered in the Marshall Islands, a country that has no diplomatic
relations with China. The identity documents and the power of attorney submitted to the court by the applicant were
notarized by the special representative from the State Maritime Administration of the Marshall Islands and by the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic in Greece. However, pursuant to Art. 524 of the 2015
Interpretations of the Supreme People's Court on the Application of the P. R.C. Civil Procedure Law, under such
circumstances, i.e., where the notarization and certification procedures are required but the country of domicile of
the foreign party concerned has no diplomatic relations with China, relevant documents may first be notarized by a
notary public office in the country of domicile of the foreign party, be certified by the embassy/consulate in the said
country of a third country that has diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, and thereafter be
certified by the embassy/consulate of the People's Republic of China in the said third country. It is clear that the
applicant does not comply with such requirements on authentication and certification.

Catchwords: arbitration agreement – due process (service of process)
The case of Glencore Operations South Africa (Pty) Ltd’s application for recognition and enforcement of the No.
21190/TO arbitral award made by the ICC, against the respondent, Northern Heavy Industries Group Co., Ltd.

The case was registered by Shenyang Intermediate People's Court of Liaoning Province on 14 June 2018, and a
ruling was rendered on 6 September 2018, approving the application for recognition and enforcement of the said
ICC arbitral award.
The applicant and the respondent entered into relevant sales agreements on 27 May 2011. Afterwards, disputes
arose between the two parties over the maintenance fees and losses of the goods. The applicant therefore filed an
arbitration request with the ICC, and the ICC conducted arbitration proceedings in South Africa and rendered an
arbitral award on 30 May 2017.
The court held that the arbitral award should be recognized and enforced in accordance with the New York
Convention and the PRC Civil Procedure Law (CPL).
4. The No. ARB008/16/JC arbitral award made by the SIAC was recognized and enforced

Catchwords: irregular procedure (composition of the arbitral authority) - due process (service of process)
The case of Golden Agri international Pte Ltd’s application for recognition and enforcement of the No.
ARB008/16/JC arbitral award made by SIAC in 2016, against the respondent, Shandong Changhua Industrial

The case was registered by Rizhao Intermediate People's Court of Shandong Province on 5 September 2017, and a
ruling was rendered on 23 August 2018, approving the application for recognition and enforcement of the said SIAC
arbitral award.
The applicant and the respondent had a dispute over the sales contract, and the applicant applied to the SIAC for

the SIAC made the default arbitral award on 22 September 2016.
Convention, the CPL and applicable judicial interpretations.
5. Two arbitral awards made by the LMAA on 1 November 2016 were recognized and enforced
Catchwords: jurisdiction (competent court) – related lawsuit

made by the LMAA on 1 November 2016, against the respondent, Conor Shipping Company Limited. (these two
cases are respectively the case of “[2018] Jin 72 Min Te No. 2” ([2018] 72 2 ) and the case of “[2018] Jin
72 Min Te No. 3” ([2018] 72 3 )) .
Tianjin Maritime Court registered the cases on 16 January 2018 and rendered rulings on 25 May 2018, approving
the application for recognition and enforcement of the said LMAA arbitral awards.
The applicant and the respondent signed a time charter on trip basis (TCT), and the two parties initiated an
arbitration at the LMAA due to disputes over the cargo losses. The arbitral tribunal of the LMAA made two arbitral
awards on 1 November 2016. The applicant is a company registered in Singapore while the applicant is a company
registered in Liberia. Both companies’ domiciles are not in Mainland China.
The court found that the shipper involved in the cargo dispute between the two parties was Tianjin Tiangang
International Trade Co., Ltd. ("Tiangang"). When applying for recognition and enforcement of the LMAA's arbitral
award, the applicant also referred Tiangang as the defendant and the respondent as a third party in the lawsuit
which it filed for recovery.
In accordance with Article 3 of “Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of
Judicial Review of Arbitration Cases” ( ), “ Where a foreign
arbitral award relates to a case pending before a people's court, neither the place of the domicile of the respondent
nor the place of the property of the respondent is located in the Mainland, and the applicant applies for recognition of
the foreign arbitral award, the people’s court before which the related lawsuit is pending shall be competent to hear
the application”. Therefore, the court held that the application for recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards had
relation to the aforesaid pending lawsuit, and the court was competent to hear the case for recognition and
enforcement of the arbitral awards.

open the letter of credit within the agreed period. On 17 September 2014, the applicant initiated an arbitration at the
FOSFA. On 23 June 2015, FOSFA made an arbitral award.
The respondent suggested that since the goods exported by the applicant to China under the sales contract were
genetically modified soybeans, the sale of the goods to China did not comply with Chinese laws and regulations on
genetically modified products. Thus recognition of the said arbitral award was against China's public policy. The
court held that, however, because the arbitral award was made on the scope that the applicant paid money to the

Catchwords: arbitration agreement – due process (service of process)
The case of Juan de Dios Crespo Perez and Alfonso Vargas ’s application for recognition and enforcement of the

The case was registered by Dalian Intermediate People's Court of Liaoning Province on 15 September 2017, and a

The applicant as the lender entered into a loan contract with the relevant company and the two respondents acted
as guarantors. Afterwards, the parties thereto had disputes over the debt. The applicant filed an arbitration request
with the KCAB, which made an arbitral award on 4 August 2016.
Respondents argued that in accordance with relevant rules of China's foreign exchange administration, if the
respondents, Chinese citizens, provided the guarantee to offshore companies, the applicant and the respondents
must go to the foreign exchange administration bureau to apply for offshore guarantee approval and go through the
registration procedures. However, in this case, the parties did not obtain the approval and go through such
registration formalities. Therefore, respondents believed that according to Chinese laws, the offshore guarantee
contract entered between the applicant and the respondents was invalid. Accordingly, recognizing or enforcing the
arbitral award made by the KCAB based on the guarantee contract would violate China's public policy.
However, the court held that there was no violation of public policy. The court stated that none of the grounds for
refusal under Article V of the New York Convention existed in this case, where the KCAB conducted an arbitration
pursuant to the applicable law as stipulated in the contract, i.e., the South Korean laws.
The court held that the arbitral award should be recognized and enforced under the New York Convention, the
bilateral treaty between China and South Korea, and the CPL.

Ren No. 5 ([2016] 72 5 ) ) .
The applicant and the two respondents had a dispute over a vessel sales contract. The three arbitrators made an
arbitral award concerned with the payment on 6 January 2014, and made a second arbitral award on 3 October
2014, with regard to the damages.
Ningbo Maritime Court registered the case on 22 September 2016, and made two rulings on 20 March 2018 to
recognize and enforce the two arbitral awards.
The court held that the arbitral awards should be recognized and enforced in accordance with the New York

The Dalian Intermediate People's Court of Liaoning Province registered the case on 25 May 2018. Thereafter, the
applicant filed a request for withdrawal of the application with the court on 20 June 2018, and the court allowed the
withdrawal of the application.

September 2018 a second time (Case No. [2018] Liao 02 AXie Wai Ren No. 17 ([2018] 02 17 )).
The court held that the applicant should apply to the intermediate people's court where the respondent's domicile or
property is located. The respondent’s domicile is not within the jurisdiction of the court, and the applicant has not
provided any proof indicating that the property of the respondent is in the jurisdiction of the court. Therefore, the
court held that the respondent's domicile was located in the jurisdiction of the Yingkou Intermediate People's Court
of Liaoning Province (“Yingkou Court”). Accordingly, the court made a ruling on 5 November 2018, transferring the
case to Yingkou Court. At present, we have not found Yingkou Court’s decision on this case yet.
