Indistri S.A. v. SAP Andina y del Caribe C.A. en Colombia, No. 2010000150 00 Superior Tribunal of Bogotá (March 10, 2010 and May 21, 2010)
I. Introduction
On 10 March 2010, the Superior Tribunal of Bogotá (the “Court”) decided on an action filed by SAP Andina y del Caribe C.A. Colombia to set aside an award rendered in Bogotá, Colombia, by a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitration proceedings had been conducted under the ICDR International Arbitration Rules.
Colombia has not adopted the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration yet. Therefore, the grounds and procedural rules applicable to actions to set aside awards issued in international arbitrations seated in Colombia, are those applicable to domestic arbitrations. According to such rules, the application for annulment must be filed with the Chair of the arbitration tribunal within the five (5) days following the notification of the award or any decision correcting, clarifying or complementing it. The recourse is to be decided either by the Superior Tribunal of the place of arbitration or, in the case of State contracts, by the Council of State (Decree 2279/89, Art. 37; Law 446/98, Art. 36.5; Decree 1818/98, Arts. 161 & 162).
