Default Judgment from the Stockholm District Court, 9 November 2011, Case No. T 24891-07
Summary: The appellant challenged an arbitral tribunal’s decision on jurisdiction, in which the tribunal found it had jurisdiction to try an expropriation claim. The counterparty denied the challenge but failed to appear at a preparatory hearing regarding the appellant’s challenge. The Stockholm District Court granted the appellant’s motion for a default judgment on the challenge, finding that the claim was not obviously lacking a factual or legal basis.
