Continental Transfert Technique Ltd. v. Federal Government, 800 F. Supp. 2d 161

Arbitration between Continental and Nigeria occurred in 2007 to resolve a contract dispute.
The arbitral award in favor of Continental totaled 29.6 billion Nigerian naira, plus costs (including 95% of arbitration costs).
Nigeria sought to have the award recognized in the UK and sought to stay or vacate enforcement based on Nigerian court proceedings.
Continental sought enforcement in the United States under the New York Convention and, later, under the DC Uniform Foreign-Money Judgments Recognition Act (UFMJRA) for the English judgment.
The Nigerian court later found the arbitral award valid and enforceable, and the English judgment remained subject to a stay only if security was posted but such security was never posted.
