Case summary:
Commercial interactions with foreign states are governed by the State Immunity Act 1978 ("SIA"). This appeal raises questions about how to enforce an arbitral award (the "Award") against a foreign state within this framework, namely whether:the SIA requires service of certain documents to the state concerned through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ("FCO"); an arbitration claim form is within the category of documents required by section 12(1) of the SIA to be served on a state through the FCO; and in exceptional circumstances, the court can make use of certain rules of English civil procedure (which govern litigation proceedings) to dispense with such service.
