Challenges and Judicial Review of Arbitral Awards

The chosen dispute-resolution mechanism may be as important as the obligations contained in a contract. Judicial review of awards does not generally permit a complete rehearing of contractual merits. Available remedies depend on the arbitration regime.

What to keep in mind

Assess grounds, time limits, arbitration agreement, due process and any applicable international framework.

Filing a challenge based only on dissatisfaction with the outcome may be unsuccessful and costly.

Distinctions often confused

Setting aside an award differs from appealing a court judgment on all factual and legal issues.

Frequently asked questions

Can an Argentine court overturn an award for any legal error?
Not as a general rule; judicial review is limited by the governing law.
Are domestic and international awards challenged in the same way?
No. The applicable regimes must be distinguished.
