Son Tung's company requests to cancel the arbitration award

According to the content of the case, on March 31, 2022, TAD Global Vietnam Company signed a contract to provide services and grant image rights with M-TP Talent Company, with a total value of more than 25 billion VND, for a term of 1 year.

Accordingly, singer Son Tung participates in producing and creating digital content and using this content on the RACA virtual universe platform. TAD Global Vietnam Company will create the land of artist Son Tung M-TP on the RACA platform including virtual characters, virtual avatars and virtual items.

After signing the contract, TAD Global Vietnam Company paid 100% of the service fee. In May 2022, because Son Tung was administratively punished for the MV There's no one at all , TAD Global Vietnam Company did not want to perform the work items in the following period.

Unfinished items include attending a performance recording, filming and posting on social media with a total value of about 6.2 billion VND.

By June 2023, while the parties were preparing to carry out the remaining work to liquidate the contract, M-TP Talent announced its refusal to perform on the grounds that the contract had expired.

Since then, TAD Global Vietnam Company has filed a lawsuit against M-TP Talent at the Vietnam International Arbitration Center (VIAC). After reviewing the documents, the arbitration council ordered M-TP Talent Company to pay TAD Global Vietnam Company nearly 6 billion VND.

Believing that the arbitration award violated basic legal principles, M-TP Talent Company filed a petition requesting the court to annul the arbitration award.

On July 25, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court held a meeting chaired by Judge Ngo Thi Phuc Hao. At the meeting, the petitioner argued that the arbitration council violated basic principles and did not respect the parties' agreement.

At the same time, M-TP Talent Company believes that the arbitration decision is somewhat subjective when considering the level of fault. Therefore, this unit requests the meeting council to annul the arbitration decision.

On the contrary, TAD Global Vietnam Company argued that the arbitration decision was in accordance with the arbitration principles and requested the court to reject the request. The representative of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Procuracy argued that the arbitration decision was appropriate and not emotional, so requested the court to reject the request of M-TP Talent Company.

However, when it came to the content of the verdict of the Trial Council, no one in the courtroom heard it clearly because…

The chairman of the session read the verdict too softly. During the process of the Trial Panel reading the verdict, the parties twice complained that they could not hear anything, but the chairman continued reading.

Although the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court was equipped with a microphone, the presiding judge did not turn on the microphone during the entire trial.

After two unsuccessful requests, both parties asked to stand next to the secretary's desk to listen to the verdict but still heard nothing.

After the verdict was announced, Judge Le Cong Toai (member of the Trial Panel) said that the Chief Judge had a sore throat so he read softly, the main content was that the Court annulled the arbitration award.
