    The Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards – A Bird’s Eye View from Mauritius
    Until 1996, the enforcement of arbitral awards in Mauritius was governed by the Mauritian Code de Procédure Civile. This was a rather old-fashioned regime based on French law and adopted in 1808 and had not been amended to cater for the realities of the modern commercial world. In 1996 Mauritius ratified The Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, also known as the “New York Convention”.

    Mauritius - Guide to Mauritius Limited Partnerships
    The Limited Partnerships Act 2011 of Mauritius (the “LP Act”) came into force on 15 December 2011 and introduced a new legal entity – the limited partnership - to the panoply of vehicles through which business can be carried out in the Mauritius International Financial Centre. The introduction of the new Mauritius Limited Partnership makes available a recognisable and flexible vehicle to US and European private equity funds which use Mauritius as a portal to access the investment opportunities of the African and Asian markets. The availability of the Mauritius Limited Partnership thus consolidates Mauritius’ position as an international financial centre of choice.
