Commercial Arbitration Act 2017

An arbitral award, irrespective of the State or other Territory in which it was made, is to be recognised in the ACT as binding and, on application in writing to the court, is to be enforced subject to the provisions of this section and section 36.

The party relying on an award or applying for its enforcement must supply the original award or a copy of the original award.

If the award is not made in English, the court may request the party to supply a translation of it into English.

So much of the Model Law, art 35 (2) as provides for the translation of an award that is not in the official language of the enforcing State has been modified.
