A recent decision by the German Federal Court of Justice has spurred interest in the international arbitration community regarding the interplay between a country’s antitrust laws and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards.  In BGH KZB 75/21, the German Federal Court of Justice decided on 27 September 2022 that arbitration awards involving antitrust provisions are subject to full judicial review on both the law and the facts.  Going against the principle of révision au fond, the court determined that the award violated German public policy because it incorrectly applied German antitrust law.  The decision was based in part on the finding that the antitrust rules prohibiting anti-competitive behavior were fundamental laws of the German legal system which protect interests of both the parties and the public.  Korean courts have yet to tackle this issue. However, there are several grounds based on which Korean courts may reach a similar conclusion with respect to Korea’s Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act (“MRFTA”).
