• the composition of the arbitral tribunal was incor - rect; • the arbitral procedure was contrary to the law of the place of arbitration or the agreement of the parties, and it is obvious that this may have had an impact on the decision; or • the arbitral award is not yet binding on the parties or has been set aside, permanently or temporar - ily, by a court at the place of arbitration, or by a court in the jurisdiction whose laws were applied in determining the subject matter in dispute.
The courts shall, of their own accord, refuse recogni - tion and enforcement of an arbitral award if: • the dispute would not have been capable of being determined by arbitration under Norwegian law; or • recognition or enforcement of the arbitral award would be contrary to public policy (ordre public). • If a legal action to set aside an arbitral award has been brought before a court, the court may post - pone the ruling on recognition and enforcement if it deems such postponement to be appropriate. In such cases, the court may order the opposite party to provide security, at the request of the party demanding recognition or enforcement.
