Foreign Arbitral Award : Enforcement Confined to Arbitration Act or Extends to Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act?
ING Bank NV & Anor v Tumpuan Megah Development Sdn Bhd [2025] 8 CLJ 873
The primary issue in this case is whether a foreign arbitral award that has been converted into a judgment in the seat country may be enforced in Malaysia under the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958 (“REJA”), or whether enforcement is confined to the Arbitration Act 2005 (“MAA”).
