By a recent decision of a Cyprus First Instance Court, a winding up petition lodged by a holder of an international arbitral award, was dismissed on the ground that:

 

(a) The holder of such an arbitral award shall register same in Cyprus as per the provisions of the New Year Convention before proceeding to enforce same.

 

(b) Such an arbitral award, before its recognition and enforcement in Cyprus  as per the provisions of the New York Convention, cannot be used as a basis for the lodgement of a winding up petition against the Respondent Company for failure to pay the sum awarded.

 

(c) Such an arbitral award, does not amount to an undisputed or liquidated claim within the meaning of Section 212 (a) of the Cyprus Companies Laws and it cannot be a basis for the lodgement of a winding up petition against the Respondent Company.
