Abstract
This paper gives an overview of the annulment (setting-aside) mechanism in international commercial arbitration. It explores the 'prevailing consensus' on the annulment criteria in the UNCITRAL Model Law and some of the more common deviations from such consensus present in contemporary national legislations. Such departures are typically not controversial. However, this is not necessarily so when it comes to the issue on whether one may 'import' remedies available against a final court judgment when the annulment proceedings have been exhausted against the award.
