Pelfrey Issue; collateral attack

On January 7, the 5th Circuit addressed two important issues in international arbitration: first, whether the district court had jurisdiction to hear a challenge to a foreign arbitral award that had been upheld at the seat of arbitration, and second, whether the district court could hear other claims seeking damages for wrongdoing that had an impact on the award. The arbitration arose out of a joint venture between Petrec, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gulf Petro, and Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. The court explained that the New York Convention mandates one procedure for reviewing awards in the country where an arbitration award was made (the primary jurisdiction) and another procedure in countries where enforcement of the award is sought (secondary jurisdictions).
