标题: urgent for arbitration [打印本页] 作者: 大成南京胡 时间: 2013-12-30 10:44 标题: urgent for arbitration
In respect of one distribution agreement between a company located in mainland China and another company in Namibia, Africa, it is provided in the agreement that " in case of breach of any of the terms of this agreement by either of the parties, relevant international laws shall be applicable", no more clause is provided in respect of the arbitration. The Namibia company has lodged a litigation against us for object amounting to about USD 1 billion in Namibia, are we in position to initiate an arbitration over this issue? If yes, do we have to reach more agreement about the place of arbitration? Can such arbitration award be enforced in Namibia when no more agreement can be reached about the arbitration? Or do your have more suggestions for us? Your quick reply will be highly appreciated.

反击的作用除了希望比Nomibia法院更早做出判决并可去执行外,还可以将来对Nomibia法院做出的判决有了 res judicata的抗辩。另一个重要的作用就是你一反击,就会给Nomibia公司带来很大的压力,因为它需要去考虑要不要花律师费去做出抗辩,否则缺席判决会更快向它做出。在Nomibia公司受到压力的时候去跟他们谈判一条仲裁条文,双方放弃各自在法院的诉讼,就会机会高得多。
