he success of any litigation and

arbitration case depends mostly
on the capability of the plaintiff
to trace and locate sufficient assets of the defendants debtor to
block and freeze the same as security for the
satisfaction of any court decision or arbitral
award to be issued in the main court or arbitral
proceedings. The legal teams of BOGATYR &
PARTNERS and SOTERIS PITTAS & Co LLC
use the services of their corporate investigators and forensic specialists to trace and identify hidden assets around the world.

On the RecOgnitiOn and

enfORcement Of a fOReign
Judgment
A judgment that has become final is enforceable throughout the country where it has
been issued.
But to enforce it in another country, a special procedure is employed that includes the
recognition of this foreign judgment by virtue
of a relevant order by a competent court of the
country where such enforcement is requested.
Apart from judgments of foreign courts, foreign arbitral awards may also be enforced.
For a foreign judgment or arbitral award to
be recognized and enforced in Ukraine, the appropriate application needs to be filed. Courts
consider applications for recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments on the basis

40

www.ukrainianlawfirms.com

of international treaties on mutual legal assistance or on the principle of reciprocity.

Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 390 of the Civil
Procedural Code of Ukraine (CPC), an enforceable foreign judgment is recognized in Ukraine
if its recognition is warranted by international
treaties ratified by the Verkhovna Rada of
Ukraine, or on the principle of reciprocity.
Pursuant to Part 2, Article 390 of the CPC
of Ukraine, if the recognition and enforcement
of a foreign judgment depends on the principle of reciprocity, this principle is deemed
active, unless proven otherwise. In addition,
the principle of reciprocity (ad hoc) is also applicable on the grounds that the judgments of
Ukrainian courts are recognized and enforced
in another country.
If such reciprocity is questioned, an answer should be sought from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. Ukraine is a party to
a number of international treaties that govern
international arbitration tribunals, allowing
foreign trade disputes to be resolved through
arbitration. A good example is the UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement
of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 10 June 1958
(the New York Convention), which came into
force for Ukraine on 8 January 1961. This Convention was adopted with reservations regarding its application, meaning that Ukraine applies the Convention to recognize and enforce
judgments issued in another signatory state.

OGATYR & PARTNERS

is a full-service boutique
law firm based in the heart
of Kiev, Ukraine. The firm
has particular focus and
experience in business crime, fraud,
asset tracing & recovery, commercial
litigation in Ukraine and internationally and legal assistance in challenging
economic sanctions. The firms senior
partner Volodymyr Bogatyr is a specialist in cross-border disputes and works
closely with a range of legal advisors
and investigators from the United
States, the United Kingdom, Cyprus,
Switzerland, France, Austria, Lichtenstein and other jurisdictions.
In 2015 BOGATYR & PARTNERS
successfully represented international
financial institution in a USD 72 million
debt recovery dispute. The team has
also successfully acted for a Dutchowned leading Ukrainian bank in its
USD 44 million loan agreement dispute.
Volodymyr Bogatyr acted for a
private client in a complex cross border
fraud matter involving tracing assets in
Canada and Switzerland, obtaining a
freezing injunction and recovering
USD 70 million via Cyprus courts.

Pursuant to Clause 12 of Resolution No. 12

of the Plenary Meeting of the Supreme Court
of Ukraine On the Court Practice of Considering Motions for Recognition and Enforcement of
Foreign Judgments and Arbitral Awards and
Cancellation of International Commercial Arbitral Awards in Ukraine of 24 December 1999,
courts consider motions for recognition and
enforcement of foreign judgments within the
scope delimited by it and may not judge such
judicial decisions on merits or amend them.
In filing a motion, the issue of confirmation of the movants powers deserves special
notice. The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of
Kiev dismissed without prejudice a motion
filed by a representative of Italy-Ukraine Gas
s.p.a. in Case No. 761/38433/15- and seeking
recognition of the award issued by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of
Commerce, of 19 December 2012, in Arbitration Case No. V007/2008 based on the claim

PRO
lodged by Italy-Ukraine Gas s.p.a.
against NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine on
the grounds that the Italian notary
principals signature, not his powers.
The Court also noted that the case
of registration of Italy-Ukraine Gas
s.p.a. and the translation of its content evidenced that the principal was
the chairman of the board of directors
in the company. However, according
to the said extract, the companys interests should be represented by the
chairman of the administrative council
rather than the chairman of the board
of directors. Additionally, as stated in
ber and concurrently chairman of the
board of directors, incumbent until the
31 December 2013. Nonetheless, the
court had not received any evidence
the case was heard. In another Case,
No. 1511/2458/2012, the Illichivsk City
Court of Odessa Region, in considering
a motion for recognition of several arbitral awards of the Federation of Oils,
Seeds and Fats Associations (FOSFA),
found that some of the awards issued
by the FOSFA were annulled by the
High Court of Justice of England citing the lack of jurisdiction of the arbitration body. This, however, was no
obstacle to granting permission for
enforcing these awards. The Illichivsk
City Court of Odessa Region explained
its judgment by the fact that the principle of reciprocity was not present in
the given case, which fact served as
grounds for its rejection to recognize
the judgment of the High Court of Justice of England.
Given that the procedural rules of
the countries signatories of the New
York Convention differ, the procedure
for recognizing a foreign judgment is
different in practice.
Ukraine is not a European Union
member, therefore its mechanism of
recognition and enforcement of foreign
judgments does not include elements
of EU legislation. Court judgments issued in states that are not EU members
are recognized and enforced in accordCyprus is a party to various bilateral agreements on the recognition
and enforcement of foreign judgments with countries like Ukraine,
China, Belarus, Georgia, Egypt, Russia,
www.ukrainianlawfirms.com

ous multilateral conventions relating

judgments and orders are usually set
out in those agreements. Ukraine and
Cyprus are in the Agreement on Legal
Assistance in Civil Matters under which
the following judgments issued on the
territory of the other Contracting Party
are recognized and enforced:
a) judgments in civil cases, including family cases;
b) judgments in criminal cases in
the part related to damages.
Regarding the procedure for the
recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Ukraine, it can be
is possible to conclude that if a court
Ukraine is not trying a case based on
a dispute between the same parties,
regarding the same subject matter, and
on the same grounds; the established
deadline for submitting a foreign judgment for recognition in Ukraine is not
exceeded; a motion seeking cancellation of a given arbitral award is not
allowed; the subject of the dispute is
referable to courts under the laws of
Ukraine; the recognition of the said
judgment does not threaten the interests of Ukraine; and there is no
relevant agreement with the country
where the judgment was issued, such
a foreign judgment may be enforced
in Ukraine following the principle of
reciprocity.

Cyprus has become an international business centre thanks to the
existence of a wide network of double
taxation treaties, common law legal
litical environment, etc, and to date
more than 250,000 Cypriot companies
have been established, the majority of
which hold and own valuable assets in,
inter alia, Russia and Ukraine.
Due to the above, Cyprus is a
unique forum for the freezing of ascially owned by persons residing in CIS
sia and Ukraine.
The adoption of the common law
legal system empowers Cypriot courts
to issue so-called Chabra freezing inly owned by the debtor/ defendant, but
are held and legally registered in the
name of a third person).
In addition, Cyprus courts are
empowered to grant discovery orders
(i.e. Norwich pharmacal type, Bankers

Trust type, etc.) in order to assist a claimant to plead his case,

to prove his case, to identify other wrongdoers and to trace the
assets of a defendant. Such discovery orders can be applied in the
context of substantive civil proceedings pending before Cyprus
courts, or in the context of special discovery actions for the purpose of obtaining information and evidence to be used in pendCyprus or abroad (i.e. both court and arbitral proceedings).
who administer the Cypriot or overseas companies by providing
nominee and trustee services, or against local banks in which the
relevant companies keep bank accounts.
In the context of such discovery actions, applicants may request the court to issue an ex parte gagging order, blocking the
discovery defendant from alerting his clients or any other person
about the pending proceedings.
Through the use of the mechanism of discovery orders, a
claimant (i.e. victim of a wrongdoing, a creditor, etc.) may be able
to build his case by collecting evidence to plead and prove his
claim and to secure his claim by tracing the defendants assets.

cOnclusiOn
The legal teams of BOGATYR & PARTNERS and SOTERIS
PITTAS & Co LLC have huge experience in carrying out forensic
investigations and in handling discovery actions, for the tracing of
assets of debtors or wrongdoers and collection of valuable evidence
needed for the successful outcome of a court and arbitration case.

Vitaliy
Serdyuk,
AVER LEX
Criminal practice is now
enduring active turbulence.
The number of open criminal
proceedings has increased
significantly since last year.
But do not think that this
is connected with crime
growth or law-enforcement
efficiency. The matter is rather in the change of the first
figures in power and lawenforcement structures that
desire to show high results
of their work, and also in
constant legislative amendments that make a criminal
process simple as much as
possible for an investigator/
prosecutor. The suggestion
to simplify a condition for
putting on the international/interstate wanted list to
putting on the state wanted
list to initiate a special litigation proceeding confirms
the above-mentioned; or a
suggestion of a possibility
to withdraw assets (special
confiscation) till the end of
the case investigation and a
court award. And all these in
addition to the actively applied methods of pressure on
business: searches, interrogations, and property arrests.
Most popular accusations
are: accusation of fraud; assignment, embezzlement and
acquisition of other peoples
property via misuse of an
official position; laundering
of criminally received income;
taxes payment evasion;
fictitious business; terrorism
financing; misuse of power
of a duty position; as well as
an offer, promise or paying
improper benefit (bribe). Such
a situation made business
representatives address criminal practice advocates after
start of any relations with the
law-enforcement bodies and
more often in order to have
a criminal audit with the
purpose to minimize possible
risks. Liability upon these accusations is the most severe
and can result in total loss of
business and personal freedom. That is why nowadays
it is not simply important,
but vitally essential to secure
yourself and your business
and to be one step ahead!
