Key legal question
Whether the international arbitral award was contrary to public policy because the contract interpretation allegedly violated good faith and abuse-of-right principles.
Extracted holding
No. The arbitral tribunal's interpretation of the contract and its conclusion that the buyer had no duty to amend the letter of credit in the seller's sense did not violate material public policy.
Extracted reasoning
A public-policy challenge under Art. 190(2)(e) LDIP targets only the result, not mere reasoning, and does not permit review of factual findings, contract interpretation, or evidentiary assessment. The seller's arguments attacked precisely those points.
