Question

Miga, a French company, sold
hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods, much of it on credit, to
various agencies of the Russian government. The first deals were made with the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), then, after the collapse of that
government in 1991, with the Federative Socialist Soviet Republic of Russia (RSFSR),
the successor government. The agreements called for binding arbitration of any
disputes at the Chamber of Commerce of Stockholm, Sweden, under Swiss law, and
subject to enforcement in court in New York. Following failure to make
payments, the arbitrator awarded Miga $275 million, which Russia refused to
pay. Miga brought suit in federal court in New York to enforce the arbitration
award.

The Federative Socialist Soviet Republic of Russia (RSFSR) wins the case according to foreign arbitration awards. FSSR enjoys the benefit of sovereign immunity from this suit unlike the previous government, the Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The dispute that Miga Company has presented is against a self-governing power and therefore, it is not strong in the arbitration awards. There was no proper notice from the Miga Company to RSFSR on the agreements they had with the previous government, USSR.
