X (S.p.A.) v. Y (S.r.l.)
Swiss Federal Supreme Court
132 Entscheidungen des Schweizerlischen Bundesgerichts [BGE] III 389 (2006)
- Written by Sara Adams, JD
Facts
Italian companies Company X (plaintiff) and Company Y (defendant) allegedly participated in a scheme to manipulate bids in relation to a contract to work on an Italian rail line. The companies arbitrated in Switzerland, and Company Y was given an award. Company X argued that the award was invalid because the bid-rigging element meant that the award violated European Union and Italian competition law. The arbitrators found that neither European nor Italian competition law was violated by the award. Company X then requested in Swiss judicial proceedings that the award be set aside.
