How Does an Unregistered Marital Property Claim Work?

How Does an Icc International Arbitration Attorney Execute Award Enforcement?
An ICC award is not yet enforceable in the United States. A petition to confirm a Convention award is filed under 9 U.S.C. § 207 within three years of the award, and the court must confirm unless one of the Article V grounds applies. Those grounds are exhaustive and do not include error in the tribunal’s reading of the contract or its assessment of the evidence. A pending set-aside application at the seat does not stop the petition. Article VI allows the court to adjourn the decision on enforcement and to order the award debtor to give suitable security, and whether to do so is discretionary, so the party opposing a stay argues the delay and the absence of posted security rather than the merits of the annulment. Collection is a separate stage with its own tools. Once a judgment is entered, post-judgment discovery proceeds under Rule 69(a)(2), which applies the procedure of the forum state, and in New York that means subpoenas under CPLR 5223 and 5224 reaching the debtor and third parties holding its assets. Where the debtor is a foreign state or its instrumentality, immunity from execution is governed separately by 28 U.S.C. § 1610, and a judgment alone does not reach its property.
