The Cyprus Court of Appeal has delivered an important clarification in the recent judgment given on 08/01/2025 in Marbale Universal Corp & Victor A. Pichugov v Alexey N.

Arbitration
In commercial agreements, arbitration clauses play a vital role in ensuring disputes are resolved efficiently, privately, and with expert input.

However, challenges arise when one party attempts to sidestep the arbitration clause and initiates litigation in court instead.
