Federal Arbitration Law

Article 53 — Article (53) Appeal of the Award

Chapter Five: Arbitral Award

1. Arbitral awards shall not be challenged except by instituting an action for annulment or during the consideration of the confirmation decision. The party requesting the annulment of the arbitral award shall prove the existence of any of the following reasons: a. Absence of an Arbitration Agreement, or the Agreement is void, or terminated due to expiry of its term in accordance with the law to which the Agreement is subject by the parties or in accordance with this Law if there is no reference to a specific law; b. One of the parties, at the time of enforcement thereof, lacks capacity or of diminished capacity in accordance with the law which governs its capacity; c. The person lacked the legal capacity to take any action regarding the right, the subject matter of dispute, in accordance with the law governing his capacity, which is stipulated in Article (4) of this Law. d. If one of the parties to the Arbitration is unable to present its case as a result of not being given proper notice of the appointment of an Arbitrator or of the arbitral proceedings, the Arbitral Tribunal's violation of the litigation principles or for any other reason beyond its control; e. If the arbitral award fails to apply the law agreed upon by the parties to govern the subject matter of the dispute; f. If the composition of the Arbitral Tribunal or the appointment of one of the Arbitrators is in conflict with the provisions of this Law or the agreement of the parties; g. If the arbitral proceedings are invalid to the effect that impairs the award; or if the award is rendered after the due time limit; or h. If the arbitral award deals with matters not falling within the scope of the Arbitration Agreement or exceeding the limits of this agreement. Nevertheless, when matters falling within the scope of the Arbitration can be separated from the parts of the award which contains matters not included within the scope of the Arbitration, the nullity affects exclusively the latter parts only. 2. The court shall invalidate the arbitral award on its own if it finds out the following: a. The subject matter of the dispute is a matter in which Arbitration may not be held; or b. The arbitral award contradicts the public order and morality in the State.
