    The Hague Court of Appeal reinstates Arbitral Awards

    The Hague Court of Appeal in the Netherlands today decided to reinstate the Arbitral Awards of 2014, which order the Russian Federation to compensate the former Yukos majority shareholders for the unlawful expropriation of their investment. The Awards amount to more than $50 billion, a measure of the company’s success before it was destroyed.
