Overview
Multiple outlets including Global Arbitration Review and Law360 quoted Steven Davidson on the Amari Companies' efforts to enforce a foreign judgment that confirmed petitioners' arbitral award against Zimbabwe. The articles report that two Mauritian subsidiaries of South Africa's Amari Resources have petitioned the US Supreme Court to review a ruling from the D.C. Circuit that upheld Zimbabwe's sovereign immunity, seeking Supreme Court review on the question of whether a state that agrees to arbitrate under the New York Convention implicitly waives immunity from enforcement of foreign judgments confirming arbitral awards.
Speaking to Global Arbitration Review about the case, Davidson the Amari companies "will continue to litigate against Zimbabwe until their claim is fully paid."
The Steptoe team representing Amari Companies includes Steven Davidson, Shannen Coffin, Joseph Sanderson, Robert Mockler and Conor Tucker.
