ARBITRATION ORDINANCE - SECT 40B

Effect of Mainland awards

(1) A Mainland award shall, subject to this Part, be enforceable in Hong Kong
either by action in the Court or in the same manner as the award of an
arbitrator is enforceable by virtue of section 2GG.

(2) Any Mainland award which is enforceable under this Part shall be treated
as binding for all purposes on the persons between whom it was made, and may
accordingly be relied on by any of those persons by way of defence, set off or
otherwise in any legal proceedings in Hong Kong, and any references in this
Part to enforcing a Mainland award shall be construed as including references
to relying on a Mainland award. (Part IIIA Added 2 of 2000 s. 5)
