由北京中银(深圳)律师事务所权益合伙人谭岳奇律师与彭孝恩实习律师代理俄罗斯Agerratum公司完成跨境权利主张,为中国与金砖国家间国际商事争议解决提供了示范样本。
2021年11月,俄罗斯Agerratum公司与厦门某公司签订速冻茄子块买卖合同。合同明确约定:因合同引起的所有争议,应由俄罗斯联邦工商会国际商事仲裁院解决。
2023年5月,因厦门公司未履行全部交货义务,Agerratum公司向该仲裁院提起仲裁,索赔173,327.50美元。同年11月,仲裁院在莫斯科作出裁决:厦门公司需偿付本金欠款71,250美元、罚款28,500美元及仲裁费10,876.95美元。
2024年11月,俄罗斯企业依据《承认及执行外国仲裁裁决公约》(《纽约公约》)及我国民事诉讼法相关规定,聘请中银(深圳)律师事务所谭岳奇律师,代表其向厦门国际商事法庭申请承认该外国仲裁裁决。
中银律师事务所团队在谭岳奇律师带领下,精准完成全套申请材料的公证认证与法律转化。作为在国际仲裁领域经验丰富的专家,谭岳奇律师在包括香港国际仲裁中心、俄罗斯仲裁中心、中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会在内的多家国际仲裁机构担任仲裁员,曾作为中国大陆法律专家在香港高等法院出庭提供专业意见并作为律师在香港国际仲裁中心代理案件。
依据我国加入《纽约公约》时所作的两项保留声明——互惠保留与商事保留,中银律师团队证明本案完全符合公约适用条件:裁决在缔约国俄罗斯作出,且争议属契约性商事法律关系范畴。
此案系厦门首例金砖国家外国仲裁裁决案在中国法庭获得承认,展现中国司法高效执行国际公约承诺。也展示了中银律师专业素养与职业精神。未来,中银律师将秉持秉持专业精进、客户至上、服务全球的理念,继续深耕跨境争议解决领域,依托丰富的国际仲裁与跨境执行经验,为中外企业提供更加高效、专业的法律服务。
Tan Yueqi(Vincent), Equity Partner at Beijing Zhongyin (Shenzhen) Law Firm, and trainee Peng Xiaoen represented a Russian company, Agerratum, in successfully pursuing its cross-border rights claim. This case provides an exemplary model for resolving international commercial disputes between China and BRICS countries.
In November 2021, Russian company Agerratum signed a contract with a Xiamen Company for the sale of frozen eggplant cubes. The contract expressly stipulated that all disputes arising from the contract should be resolved by the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.
In May 2023, due to the Xiamen company’s failure to fully deliver the goods, Agerratum filed arbitration with the said arbitration court, claiming USD 173,327.50. In November of the same year, the arbitration court issued an award in Moscow ordering the Xiamen company to pay:
Principal debt: USD 71,250
Penalty: USD 28,500
Arbitration fees: USD 10,876.95
In November 2024, the Russian company, represented by Tan Yueqi(Vincent) from Zhongyin (Shenzhen) Law Firm, applied to the Xiamen International Commercial Court for recognition and enforcement of this foreign arbitral award. This application was based on the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention) and relevant provisions of China’s Civil Procedure Law.
Under the leadership of Tan Yueqi(Vincent), the Zhongyin legal team accurately completed the notarization, authentication, and legal adaptation of all application materials. As an expert with extensive experiences in international arbitration, Tan Yueqi(Vincent) serves as an arbitrator at multiple international arbitration institutions including the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), Russian Arbitration Center (RAC) and China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, and previously appeared as a Chinese mainland legal expert in the Hong Kong High Court and as a counsel in HKIAC .
Based on China’s two reservations upon acceding to the New York Convention—reciprocity reservation and commercial reservation—the Zhongyin legal team demonstrated that the case fully met the Convention’s application requirements: the award was made in Russia (a Contracting State), and the dispute fell within the scope of contractual commercial legal relations.
This case marks the first recognition in Xiamen court of P.R.C regarding a foreign arbitral award involving a BRICS country, demonstrating China’s judicial efficiency in fulfilling its international convention commitments. It also showcases Zhongyin lawyers’ professional competence and dedication. In the future, Zhongyin lawyers will adhere to the principles of professional excellence, client-first service, and global commitment, continuing to deepen expertise in cross-border dispute resolution. Leveraging extensive experiences in international arbitration and cross-border enforcement, Zhongyin will provide more efficient and professional legal services to Chinese and foreign enterprises.
