Abstract

This Comment considers “adjournment” of enforcement proceedings under Article VI of the New York Convention, which allows a “pause” or a “stay” on enforcement pending a set-aside proceeding. Adjournment is an effective tool when a party initiates a proceeding to set aside, or annul, an award. While adjournment may mean that the enforcement of an award is not as “fast and furious” as some may prefer, it may be the unheralded solution—often overlooked and seldom discussed – that, despite its low profile, can significantly promote efficiency and prevent issues arising from multiple cross-border litigation proceedings.
