International Litigation columnists Lawrence W. Newman and David Zaslowsky write: A hallmark of arbitration awards issued by the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes is that they cannot be reviewed by national courts of any member country. Yet, unless they are paid voluntarily, such awards still must be brought to a national court for recognition and enforcement. On July 11, 2017, the Second Circuit became the first circuit court to address enforcing such awards in the United States in a decision that rejected the summary procedures that had been followed by numerous courts in the Southern District of New York.

Jed I. Bergman and Marissa E. Miller write: Even though in pari delicto is an affirmative defense, and case law suggests that a balancing of the parties' relative fault is required, New York courts often dismiss plaintiffs' claims on the face of the pleadings, without balancing and without discovery. The frequency of such dismissals has only increased since the Court of Appeals decided 'Kirschner v. KPMG' in 2010. Given this trend, surviving a motion to dismiss can significantly enhance a plaintiff's leverage.
