ESSENCE OF THE CONVENTION Sample Clauses

ESSENCE OF THE CONVENTION. The Convention aims to provide an opportunity to give legal effect and enforce settlement agreements outside the country of their conclusion in a simple and convenient way. With this aim, a party would need to apply at the court (or other competent authority) of the State where the agreement is sought to be relied upon. As with the New York Convention of 1958, the Convention provides a limited list of grounds to refuse such application, such as an incapacity of the party, nullity of the agreement under the applicable law, and some others. Therefore, it is not an automatic coercive enforcement of settlement agreements, but, instead is a reduction in the range of possible grounds for the court to refuse recognition and enforcement. The Convention deals specifically with international “settlement agreements”. An agreement is international if at least two parties to the settlement agreement have their places of business in different States; or the State in which the parties to the settlement agreement have their places of business is different from either: · the State in which a substantial part of the obligations under the settlement agreement is to be performed; or · the State with which the subject matter of the settlement agreement is most closely connected.3 The Convention does not cover enforcement of those settlement agreements that have been approved by a court judgment in the State of their conclusion or by an arbitral tribunal as an arbitral award on agreed terms.4 The agreements approved by a court judgment can be enforced abroad in the same manner as ordinary foreign judgments (there are other international instruments for that, for example, treaties on legal assistance and the Hague Choice of Court Convention of 2005). Foreign arbitral awards on agreed terms are subject to enforcement abroad like ordinary foreign arbitral awards in accordance with the New York Convention of 1958. Thus, the essence of the Convention consists of creating a mechanism for a simplified cross-border enforcement of extrajudicial settlement agreements similar to the mechanism of
