A Finnish company had brought legal action before a Russian court despite the arbitration clause, arguing that the clause was incapable of being performed due to restrictive measures (sanctions) against the defendant, a Russian company. The defendant requested that the court refer the parties to arbitration.

The court granted the motion, holding that no evidence had been provided to the court that the restrictive measures affected the claimant, and that no evidence had been presented indicating the existence of obstacles to the claimant's access to justice.
