In this particular case, the application for the enforcement of the two Arbitral Awards was challenged on the grounds that whilst the relevant documents included the signature of the Director of the Press and Information Office of the Republic of Cyprus, they had not been certified by an official, sworn translator as required by law. This position was accepted by the District Court of Nicosia which stated that because the translator was not an official, sworn translator, diplomatic or consular agent, the Director's signature was relevant only to the fact that the translation had been carried out by that individual but it did not extend to verifying the accuracy of the content of the translation.

In light of the above, the court rejected the application for enforcing the two Arbitral Awards. This case is an example of a strict approach applied to the provisions of the New York Convention which need to be fulfilled in order for the application for enforcing an Arbitral Award to be satisfied.
