Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public-law appeal against the international arbitral award was admissible and whether the award violated public policy under Art. 190(2)(e) PILA through breach of pacta sunt servanda.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was admissible but unfounded; the arbitral tribunal did not contradict its own interpretation of the contracts, and no public-policy violation was shown.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that pacta sunt servanda is violated only where the arbitral tribunal enforces or refuses a contractual clause in contradiction with its own interpretation of the existence or content of that clause. Here, the tribunal’s reasoning on the interconnected contracts and the resulting restitution and solidarity obligations was internally consistent and concerned contractual interpretation, which is not reviewable under Art. 190(2)(e) PILA.
