Agustin Garcia Sanz and Luis Tamborini write about a recent decision by an Argentinean court on the local enforcement of an ICSID award in the 3rd edition of the ICC Argentina Arbitration Bulletin.

The decision, a first step towards the clarification of the enforcement landscape in Argentina, leaves open questions for future courts to settle about the timeframe for judicial intervention and the potential relevance of public policy considerations that were not engaged in this case.
