Stans Energy Legal Update
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Stans Energy Corp. (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF)(‘Stans’ or ‘The Company’) announces that the Moscow Regional Arbitrazh court has denied Stans’ appeal of the Moscow City Arbitrazh Court decision setting aside the Company’s arbitration award.
As reported on June 2, 2015, the Court set aside the US$118 million award of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry (the “MCCI”) on procedural grounds, not on the merits of the case. The Company continues to seek recognition and enforcement of the MCCI award before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
“Stans Energy and our legal team remain committed to pursuing recognition and enforcement of the original award of the MCCI. Although it is disappointing that domestic Russian courts refuse to recognize the jurisdiction of the MCCI, the company continues to seek recognition and enforcement of our US$118,000,000 award in Ontario, not in the Russian Federation, where our experience with very expedient proceedings of the Moscow City and Regional Arbitrazh Courts demonstrates obvious lack of judicial diligence and political independence,” states Rodney Irwin, President and CEO.
