It provides an overview of the conditions for the enforcement both of court judgments and arbitral awards in Southeast Asia, and aims to assist parties when making decisions on jurisdiction, seat of arbitration, and dispute resolution clauses when negotiating and drafting contracts. It is the latest enforcement publication of CMS.
