Ó l:zl.gl.-zz VILLA EUROPE Sp. z o. o. us AXEL BRAI.IDENBURG Kleigaren's Endpoint (Please note if the Swedish language has been used during the translation.) With the letter from Mr. Brandenburg dated rB September 2c.23 (File Annex 9o) which was received on September 19 zoz3, the kdrand has not yet had the opportunity to take its endpoint. 1. From the content of the letter it appears that it has been designed as a sharing of Mr Brandenburg's Views and observations towards the court' Rather ón one professional analysis and a deposition from the defendant's representative (the letter's introduction). 2. First of all, Mr. Brandenburg's free observations (confabulations) have nothing did not have any relevance to the Swedish law on arbitration, at least not sections 52-55. From this so-called lutgór they do not and cannot make fórem&lfór non-consideration by the appellate court. 3. The defendant asserts that ''Appendix 78 is a pro forma invoice ie. not an invoice which We]la Europe has to pay'' and is clearly misinformed and shows a lack of p basic knowledge : 3.1. A proforma invoice is a formal and generally accepted legal expression of the legally guaranteed freedom to conclude contracts in Poland (Polish Constitution Article 31, 20 and 22 and Polish Civil Code Article 353). The parties have established in writing (the proforma invoice) a financial obligation that will be fulfilled within the statutory time frame, no later than three years from the date of the proforma invoice unless otherwise agreed. 3.2. Of course, instead of a proforma invoice or some other expression of their will, the parties could have drawn up another written agreement, let's call it a "Party Agreement," which sets out their mutual obligations. But for reasons of saving time, the parties chose to draw up an agreement with the name (possibly somewhat paradoxically) pro forma invoice. 3.3. The proforma invoice, as an expression of will, is widely used when its payment depends not only on the will of the parties according to the information on the invoice, but also on a third party. In the case of the invoice in Deed Exhibit 78, the parties listed on the pro forma invoice agreed to pay for the service at a later time than the date the obligation arose. The parties formally confirmed the existence of their mutual obligation. 4. The defendant's claim that the company Villa Europa lacks an identification number is completely incorrect and unfounded. The defendant presents undefined (just as he did before without success) attachments from unknown sources and draws unwarranted conclusions. The company Villa Europa has had an identification number (NIP: 527-23-21-241) since 2000. 5. The claim of the defendant that he does not even notice that in the second annex (the origin of which is unknown) erroneously called the "tax register" (Exhibit 92) the NIP number 5272321241 is indicated (twice), which is identical to Villa Europa's NIP (527- 23-21-241). The claim of the plaintiff that there is no NIP and that it is not possible to issue invoices is completely wrong and unfounded. 6. The claimant attaches two notarial deeds (one dated 20 March 2001 and one dated 29 March 2002) together with a translation of a small part confirming that the claimant has a NIP number. Summary: The defendant, as if the Swedish arbitration mode does not existed and as if the New York Convention (1958) did not exist, has repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to question the plaintiff's credibility and actions. Attempts to question the plaintiff's integrity and credibility have been repeated and dramatically ineffective and lack evidence, or have even been fabricated. The defendant has not even been able to show that any of the points (52-55) of the Swedish Arbitration Act have been substantiated by him. On the defendant's side was the burden of proof that: 1. A foreign judgment will not be recognized and enforced in Sweden if it party to whom it is directed can demonstrate (in accordance with the provisions of Act 52-54), 2. Search and enforcement of a foreign judgment will also be refused if the court finds it so (according to provision 55 of the Act). The respondent has not even been able to show, has not been able to prove that any of the clauses (52-55) of the Arbitration Act have been substantiated by him. The plaintiff has proven his claim by presenting documents (with Apostille or notarial act): 1. An agreement between the parties, including an arbitration clause, 2. The performance of the publication service for the benefit of the defendant, 3. The receipt of the performance of the service by the defendant, 4. The arbitrator's certificate of acceptance and a declaration of independence and impartiality, 5. Effective written notices to the defendant about the arbitration, the right to judicial review and the right to defense; 6. Decision of the arbitral tribunal. "Pacta sunt servanta" is the principle that a person who has entered into a valid contract must abide by it. The principle "pacta sunt servanda" originally had application in civil law, but because of its crucial importance and presence in almost every legal system it also constitutes a fundamental principle of international law and constitutional law, where it derives from the rule of law. It is one of the fundamental norms in international relations, confirmed in many acts of public international law, from the London Declaration of 17 January 1871 to the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Charter of the United Nations (Article 2.2) of 1945 and the Declaration on Fundamental Principles of International Law from 1970 (Principle 7). The principle is regulated in public international law by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (Articles 26 and 27). We request that the recognition and determination of the enforceability of the arbitral tribunal's decision, which we previously submitted in our original submission to the Stockholm Court of Appeal, be granted. We maintain our previous applications for the award of legal costs and request that these be granted. Warsaw day as above, ENG 2003-11-17 Prof. dr hab.
