Question juridique clé
Whether the arbitral tribunal lacked jurisdiction because Y.'s arbitration request was filed by unauthorized representatives and not ratified.
Solution extraite
The challenge to jurisdiction fails; the filing authority of counsel concerns ratione personae jurisdiction under Art. 190(2)(b) PILA, and the tribunal rightly found ratification by an authorized corporate organ.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that the issue is not about the tribunal's constitution under Art. 190(2)(a) PILA, but about whether the tribunal was seized by persons entitled to act. It further found no violation of foreign law demonstrated and accepted ratification, at least tacitly, by Y.'s managing director.
