# Recognition & Enforcement of International Arbitration Award in Georgia

## About this service

Recognising and enforcing in Georgia an arbitral award issued abroad is a separate procedural track: its rules are assembled by Articles 2 and 45 of the Law on Arbitration — which court is competent, in which cases recognition and enforcement may be refused, and how annulment proceedings pending before a foreign court affect the Georgian examination. For parties holding international awards, this is the step where the award turns into money. Our service helps parties walk this track.

### To which court should we apply?

For recognition and enforcement — the appellate courts and the Supreme Court of Georgia.

### Is partial recognition possible?

Yes — only in the part within the framework of the request, where the exceeding part is separable.

### Which grounds does the court apply on its own initiative?

Non-arbitrability under Georgian legislation and contradiction of public order.

### What if an annulment complaint is pending abroad?

The court may postpone its decision by up to 30 days and request security.
