Arbitration — Enforcement and Compliance — Court Order dated 4 January 2024 in HCCT 19/2023 — Application under section 81 of Arbitration Ordinance (Cap 609) — Article 34 UNCITRAL Model Law — Order 73 High Court Rules (Cap 4A). The plaintiff sought to resist compliance with the court order, asserting inability and potential disadvantage under Russian law. The court held that compliance with its orders must be strict and that the plaintiff’s asserted reasons relate to previously rejected or irrelevant issues. Only two minor relevant points concerning the Russian court ruling and procedural withdrawal mechanisms remain. Allegations about third party claims and potential director liability lacked evidential support. The court directed strict compliance.
Legal issues: Compliance with court order under foreign law
Outcome: The court rejects the plaintiff’s arguments against compliance and affirms that compliance with the court Order dated 4 January 2024 is required; the issues raised by the plaintiff are mostly irrelevant or unsupported.
