Impossibility of performance, especially if self‑inflicted, is not a public policy ground to refuse registration and enforcement of the CIETAC award under the Arbitration Ordinance; the court's role at the registration stage is mechanistic and does not permit remitting the matter to CIETAC for directions, and the alleged risk of contempt is speculative and insufficient to refuse enforcement.
