Article 50. Revocation statement as an exclusive means of appeal against an arbitral award

An appeal to a court against an arbitral award may be made only by means of submission of a revocation statement in accordance with parts 2 and 3 of this Article.

An arbitral award may be revoked by the court in the following cases:

1) if the party applying for revocation presents evidence that:

one of the parties to the arbitration agreement referred to in Article 12 of the present Law was in any way incapable; or the agreement is invalid under the law to which the parties have subjected it or - in the absence of any indication of such law - under the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan; or

it has not been duly notified of the appointment of an arbitrator or of the arbitral proceedings, or for other reasons has been unable to present its arguments; or

the arbitral award is made on the dispute the resolution of which is not envisaged for arbitration, or not subject to the conditions of the application to arbitration, or contains rulings on matters beyond the scope of the arbitration agreement. However, if the rulings on matters subject to arbitration can be separated from those not subject to arbitration, only that portion of the arbitral award, which contains rulings on matters not subject to arbitration may be revoked; or

the composition of the arbitral court or the arbitral procedure were not in compliance with the agreement of the parties, unless such agreement is inconsistent with any provision of the present Law from which the parties may not derogate, or, in the absence of such agreement, were inconsistent with the present Law; or

2) if the court determines that:

the subject matter of the dispute is not subject to arbitration under the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan; or

the arbitral award is contrary to the public order of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

A revocation statement may not be submitted after three months from the date when the party making that statement received the arbitral award or, if a request has been made under Article 49 of the present Law - from the date of the arbitral court decision on that request.

In the case of a revocation statement, the court shall be entitled - if appropriate, and at the request of one of the parties - to suspend revocation proceedings for a period of time specified by it, in order to give the arbitral court an opportunity to resume the arbitral proceedings or to take other actions which, in the opinion of the arbitral court, would eliminate the grounds for revoking the arbitral award.
