Question juridique clé
Whether a complete translation of the foreign arbitral award was required under Art. IV(2) NY Convention.
Solution extraite
A partial, non-formalistic translation was sufficient in the circumstances because the court could understand English and the translated parts covered the contested costs issue.
Motifs extraits
The Convention must be interpreted purposively and enforcement-friendly. Formal requirements under Art. IV should not be applied rigidly; the purpose is to enable review of refusal grounds, and the court had adequate language competence.
