Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought registration of an arbitral award requiring the respondents to facilitate transfer of property and obtain Capital Gains Tax clearance. The respondents opposed, arguing the award should be paid in US dollars rather than local currency, and raised public policy concerns. The court found it could not vary the currency of the award and registered it as is.
