Interim Award in ICC Case No. 6149

International Chamber of Commerce
XX Y.B. Comm. Arb. 41 (1995)

Facts

A Korean manufacturer (plaintiff) entered three contracts to supply an Iraqi buyer (defendant). The Korean manufacturer agreed to deliver goods to the Iraqi buyer in Iraq in a contract containing an arbitration agreement. The arbitration agreement required that each side would appoint two arbitrators in the event a dispute could not be resolved cordially. The arbitration agreement also required the application of the laws and regulations of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. When a dispute arose under the contract, the Korean manufacturer commenced arbitration. The Iraqi buyer objected to the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal. The Iraqi buyer cited Jordan Law No. 35 of 1983, which declared any agreement barring Jordanian courts from maintaining disputes relating to bills of lading or carriage of goods was null and void.
