    Decision of the Supreme Court of Sweden dated 19 June 2018

    Supreme Court of Sweden

    Decision summary
    The Supreme Court rejected Promlinus D.O.O. Prokuplje's request to dismiss Adelina Gross AB's standing objection and dismissed Adelina Gross AB's appeal. It held that Adelina's failure to object during the Serbian arbitration deprived it of the right to rely on the tribunal's alleged lack of jurisdiction as a bar to enforcement of the award in Sweden.
