Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Stans Energy Corp.

The Tribunal, in accordance with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Rules of Arbitration of 1976 (“Uncitral Rules”) has unanimously rejected the Respondent’s preliminary jurisdictional objections and opened the way for adjudication of the merits. Any further arguments pertaining to jurisdiction will be considered together with the merits of the case.
The attorneys for Parties will now confer with each other with a view to reaching agreement on a joint proposal for a procedural timetable up to, and including a hearing on the merits (and any other remaining jurisdictional objections). Whether by agreement or order of the Tribunal, the schedule should be set in February.
“We are pleased that the Tribunal has confirmed its jurisdiction in our dispute with the Republic. I would like to congratulate our attorneys at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer for the stellar work done to date. Stans remains committed to pursuing more than US$ 210,000,000 of compensation, including interest, and focusing on this next stage of the arbitration proceedings,” states Rodney Irwin, CEO and President.
