In summary
This chapter provides an overview of the key developments on commercial and investor-state arbitration in Vietnam. It explores some recent decisions of the Vietnamese courts during the setting-aside procedure, giving broad effect to arbitration agreements but having diverse views on whether to revisit the matter of the limitation period, which was decided by the arbitral tribunal. The available statistics show that the rejection ratio during the recognition and enforcement procedures of foreign arbitral awards has significantly decreased.
Discussion points
• The binding effect of an arbitration clause exchanged during the negotiation of a contract that has eventually not been concluded
• Setting aside of arbitral awards based on the grounds relating to the limitation period
• Recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards, including investor-state arbitral awards
