| Basic Facts | | 基本案情 |
| Royal claimed that: on 4 August 2009, the Applicant concluded with the Respondent a purchase confirmation No. Master-ACT (“Purchase Confirmation”)and agreed that the Applicant would purchase from the Respondent 143,136 boxes of green beans for the FOB price of USD 9.95/box. The parties agreed that any dispute arising out of the Purchase Confirmation should be referred to arbitration by the AFI in New Jersey, USA. Thereafter, the parties actually performed the contract. Royal made the payment according to the contract and Youngor delivered the goods between October 2009 and March 2010. However, after examination, it was found that the quality of the goods failed to meet the standard and that the goods were not suitable for human consumption. Therefore, the Applicant filed a request for arbitration with the AFI. The Respondent subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Applicant with the US District Court of New Jersey and applied for an injunction to halt the AFI arbitration proceedings on the ground that there was no arbitration agreement between the parties. Later on, the Respondent agreed to withdraw its lawsuit against the Applicant and agreed to refer to arbitration the above dispute relating to the Purchase Confirmation. On 26 July 2011, the AFI arbitral tribunal rendered an award No. 2544 and ordered Respondent to pay USD 560,250.61 to the Applicant. The Applicant therefore requests the court to recognize and enforce the award pursuant to the relevant provisions of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (“New York Convention”) and the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC , and to rule that the Respondent shall pay to the Applicant the amount of USD 560,250.61 under the award as well as the interest calculated from 27 July 2011 to the date of actual payment, at the annual rate of 7%. | | 申请人皇家公司称：2009年8月4日，申请人和被申请人签订编号为Master-ACT的购买确认书一份，约定申请人向被申请人购买143136箱青豆，价格为FOB9.95美元／箱。双方约定一切因购买确认书引起的任何争执应递交位于美国新泽西州的美国食品工业协会裁决。之后双方实际履行了合同，申请人按合同支付货款，被申请人在2009年10月至2010年3月期间陆续交付了货物。然而经检验交付的货物品质不达标，不适宜人类食用，为此申请人向美国食品工业协会提出仲裁。被申请人之后向美国新泽西州地区法院提起民事诉讼并申请禁令，以双方不存在仲裁协议为由要求停止在美国食品工业协会的仲裁程序。后被申请人同意撤销其针对申请人提起的诉讼并同意将上述因购买确认书引起的争议提交仲裁。2011年7月26日，美国食品工业协会仲裁庭作出案号为某2544的仲裁裁决，裁定被申请人向申请人支付560250.61美元。故依照《承认及执行外国仲裁裁决公约》（以下简称《纽约公约》）和《中华人民共和国民事诉讼法》的有关规定向本院请求承认和执行该裁决，并裁定被申请人向申请人支付仲裁裁决项下的金额560250.61美元及2011年7月27日至实际支付之日止按年利率7%计算的利息。 |
| ．．．．．． | | 被申请人雅戈尔公司辩称：申请人未提供包含仲裁条款的合同原件，不符合《纽约公约》第四条规定。申请人提出的承认和执行仲裁裁决申请所依据的事实是虚构的，涉案合同是申请人伪造的。合同上的供应商既是DesionLi，又是被申请人，被申请人没有接受过DesionLi的委托。被申请人代理工厂与申请人发生几笔业务，但不是涉案合同项下的货物。被申请人收到仲裁通知的第一时间就向美国食品工业协会声明合同是伪造的，但是美国食品工业协会和美国新泽西州地区法院无视被申请人声明，依据申请人提供的虚假合同作出仲裁裁决。申请人所提供的美国新泽西州地区法院的裁决书在我国是不足以证明相关事实的。请求依法不予承认和执行美国食品工业协会的仲裁裁决。 |
