The Hague Court of Appeal reinstates Arbitral Awards
The Hague Court of Appeal has today reinstated 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.
Tim Osborne, GML’s chief executive, commented: “This is a victory for the rule of law. The independent courts of a democracy have shown their integrity and served justice. A brutal kleptocracy has been held to account.”
