35 Recognition and enforcement
(Model Law art 35)
(1) An arbitral award, irrespective of the State or other Territory in which
it was made, is to be recognised in the ACT as binding and, on
application in writing to the court, is to be enforced subject to the
provisions of this section and section 36.
(2) The party relying on an award or applying for its enforcement must
supply the original award or a copy of the original award.
(3) If the award is not made in English, the court may request the party
to supply a translation of it into English.
Note So much of the Model Law, art 35 (2) as provides for the translation of
an award that is not in the official language of the enforcing State has
been modified.
