Won case in the Supreme Court
The GWW Law Firm was a representative of a client from the construction industry in proceedings to set aside an arbitration award. The dispute concerned the settlement of a FIDIC-based construction contract based.
After winning before the Court of Appeal in 2019, on 15 June 2021, the Supreme Court, as requested by our client, dismissed the other party's cassation appeal.
The Supreme Court shared our viewpoint regarding the need to clearly understand grounds for challenging the judgment, in particular the public order clause and the allegation of depriving people of the possibility of defending their rights. The judgment is particularly important as it confirms the need for independence of arbitration courts and for laying down grounds for appealing against judgments of these courts in accordance with the UNICITRAL Model Act.
The case was run by attorney-at-law Jacek Olma, GWW partner co-leading the court and arbitration proceedings practice. The value of the subject of the appeal exceeded PLN 20 million.
