Ltd (1197/CV-C/2013) where the parties had opted for disputes to be settled by arbitration at the Kuala Lumpur Regional Center for Arbitration under UNCITRAL rules, the court has enforced the award rendered by the arbitration.
Even though the Maldives is not a party to the New York Convention, the award was enforced pursuant to the Article 72 of the Arbitration Act (Law No. 10/2013) and Article 11 of the Regulation made under the Arbitration Act.
