Russia Appeals to Block $60B Yukos Award Enforcement, Citing State Immunity

15/01/25

USA Herald, 15/1/25

Vernon Flynn KC of Brick Court Chambers, representing Russia, said an English court “must determine for itself, essentially de novo, whether an applicable exception to the state’s adjudicable immunity arises.”

“An obligation to give effective immunity … may only be satisfied by an autonomous determination, applying the civil standard, of the factual and legal arguments said to give rise to immunity,” Flynn said. “The conclusion based on issue estoppel arising from a foreign judgment is not a determination at all and certainly not one to the civil standard.”
