The US District of Columbia Court of Appeals dismisses former Yukos shareholders in a $ 50 billion lawsuit against Russia

Former shareholders of the Yukos company, which no longer exists in the official registers, are demanding compensation from Russia (the state) in the amount of more than $ 50 billion. With such claims and appeals, appeals followed in several instances. Recently, these courts have ruled against the ex-shareholders.

So, it became known that the Court of Appeal in the United States decided to reject the claim of the ex-shareholders of Yukos, while satisfied the petition of the defendant - Russia.

The plaintiffs tried to convince the Court of Appeal of the need to review the decision of the lower court, which suspended the case. Ultimately, the case was reportedly closed. As reported RIA News, Russia's petition that the case not be reopened, thus the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (USA) upheld.

The case is now heard exclusively in the courts of the Netherlands. Let us remind you that earlier and there the former shareholders of YUKOS, who were going to receive a "round sum" from Russia, suffered a serious defeat. In their case, one can only hope for the cancellation of the decision of the lower court in the Supreme Court (we are also talking about the court in the Netherlands). The American court, apparently, decided not to get involved in this protracted and pretty confusing process, considering that what the final decision will be in the Netherlands, it should be the same and, as they say, in principle. Additional proceedings in other countries in the case of ex-shareholders would lead to a chain of legal incidents in which, for example, the Court of Appeal in one country overturned the decision of the same court in another country.

Recall that earlier the Russian judicial authorities had already made an unambiguous decision on this issue: the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation ruled not to pay compensation in the amount of $ 57 billion in this case. After the amendments were made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Russian legislation has legislative priority in Russia over international legislation, and even more so over the legislation of a separate foreign country.

They stole little in Russia, so now they also want money from Russia. They were completely morose.

[Or me]

These courts are reminiscent of football players' training. They chase the ball back and forth.

[Vasily Onischuk]

All judges are agents of the Kremlin. And bought, intimidated, recruited personally by Putin. There was no such version yet? So it will be soon.

[Victor_B]

Quote: Vasily Onischuk

All judges are agents of the Kremlin.

But they had complete confidence in victory.
Like - native Americans will not let you down!
(True, Russia is not subject to the American court, but the entire "civilized" world obeys any decision of the Zadrishchensky district court in some sniffed state!)

[Mountain shooter]

It seems that the former YUKOS shareholders are doing very badly ... if there was even the slightest clue - they would “shake up” Russia.

[Lech from Android.]

Take it higher ... our legislation was changed not in favor of Yukos ... the priority of the Dutch court on our legislation is not primary.

[volodimer]

Well, not primary .. And how can we return the Scythian gold to the Crimea?
Yes, and how many such moments have already happened, then they try to arrest Sedov, then Sushki at the air show .. Nobody will respect the priority of our legislation until we can answer them with something adequate. But we cannot yet.

[210ox]

Actually, it seems strange. With regard to Russia, the courts in the west are making biased decisions. Politics is at the forefront. Of course, I am far from thinking that the United States has "the fairest court in the world," but here, in fact, the plaintiffs will not grow together at all.

[moscowp]

So, you see, the popular opinion that Western courts make biased decisions is somehow falling apart. When we don't like the decision, everyone starts screaming about engagement, and when it's the other way around, it doesn't fit into the usual picture of the world and looks strange))
All our oligarchs, who prefer to sue each other exclusively in the west, apparently have some other opinion about engagement, and not only oligarchs, but also medium-sized business

[ViacheslavS]

Let me remind you that another case was imposed on the Russian company T-platform in 2013 by the US, but in the same year the company filed an appeal in the US court which was satisfied and the company was excluded from the station list.

Of course, I am far from thinking that the United States has "the fairest court in the world," but here, in fact, the plaintiffs will not grow together at all.

Why are you far from this thought? Their judges are a separate independent institution of power, politicians do not have direct administrative influence on the court, of course, there can also (and there have been such cases) a corruption conspiracy, but on the whole, the courts themselves are independent.
They have the other side of the coin - litigation itself, when people with money hire good lawyers and they can drag out the lawsuits for more than one year, starving an opponent out.

Endless story...

[Lech from Android.]

It's funny ... the Dutch court is going to prosecute Russia for the Malaysian Boeing ... why is it so selective?

[Egoza]

Boeing is politics, and YUKOS is a dishonest business (taxes were not paid, money was laundered) And with such defaulters it is strict.

After the amendments were made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Russian legislation has legislative priority in Russia over international legislation, and even more so over the legislation of a separate foreign country.

So it became clear why amendments were made to the Constitution in such an accelerated manner. It's just that the main ideas were camouflaged with a bunch of minor and partly populist amendments, so that the entire package of amendments would pass, as they say, without a hitch. But whoever needed it, they saw their own.

[Far B]

Oh yeah. Exclusively for the sake of these financial problems with the former Yukos people, the changes were made in a package. And now this glorious moment has come! And resetting to zero has nothing to do with it, of course, or rather, it was a secondary and partly populist amendment, and not the real goal of adjusting the Constitution. Sarcasm, if cho.

[hagen]

Quote: Dalny V

And resetting to zero has nothing to do with it,

Zeroing did not require such a rush. And with Article 79 it was impossible to drag out for time. True, not everyone understands this. The Europeans understood this ...

In general, I am opposed to artificially limiting the will of the voter by the number of terms. Roosevelt was elected 4 times, and so was Merkel. These norms were specially imposed on us by the "neighbors" from across the ocean. I am opposed to being dictated to me because of the "puddle" who and how much I should elect for myself. If we mean that the current government will not change as a result of the elections, ignoring them, then the specified number of terms for a possible election will not help the development of democracy (real) in the country. Well, remove Putin today, who will replace him? Say, the system is crushing the opposition, so you can't see the leader? Nonsense .... The opposition is being pressured always, everywhere and under any government. Charismatic leaders, who have ideas that are really interesting for the people, always come to power in spite of the current government.

[volodimer]

And it seems that you said everything correctly and beautifully, so did I.

against being dictated to me because of the "puddle" who and how much I should choose for myself

But here it is:

Well, remove Putin today, who will replace him?

Well, it doesn’t channel! Got it out already. He wants to stay in power: he could, following the example of Nazarbayev, go to Elbasy. Better, of course, in the year 2015-16, I would have remained in the memory of a national hero. And so, he trampled his karma in ... Now he will be remembered not as a charismatic who returned Crimea, but as a senile who lifted the retirement period for everyone, so also the KuaR-CoVid bacchanalia not only did not interfere, but contributed. He distanced himself from the common people.
And he called the people for a reason
The "bunker" of this king ...

This is your personal opinion. And you are not a whole nation yet .... Besides you, there are other people with a different assessment of the modern world.

Suggest a replacement. Whom for the kingdom?

The US District of Columbia Court of Appeals dismisses former Yukos shareholders in a $ 50 billion lawsuit against Russia

It is unlikely that this is EVERYTHING!
For such babosiks they will, will, still try, win back.
The question is that the costs are high, not everyone will be able to handle such a lawsuit ...
Now the question is, who else would want to finance this process?

[Glagol1]

There was a moment when the Yukos team won, but it was such a violation of everything and everyone that even the Dutch backed up. Firstly, the Dutch court sided with those who did not pay taxes and laundered money (!). Secondly, the jurisdiction of the court itself is controversial. If the tax office takes away your business, you will go to the arbitration courts in your country, and not to the court of the city of Canberra. Or The Hague. But the story is not over yet. Courts in Western countries are also dependent on the state, just like ours. They just work there thinner. 500 years of experience, however.

[NDR-791]

There is such a thing, they know how to tighten if necessary.
"... Antimony is the name of antimony used in alchemy. The French parliament banned both animonium itself and all its derivatives in 1556.
The pharmacists, outraged by such an attempt on part of their earnings, filed a lawsuit. Although the case was taken into production, it dragged on for as much as 100 years ... "

[Skipper]

How despicable it looks like a clown-to sue from Russia running around the world in some kind of incomprehensible courts ... which a priori conduct a policy against Russia..big means .... absurd and clownery. it's the same if mom hadn't given the child candy .. and the child ran out into the street to complain about mom to a passer-by uncle.

[tralflot1832]

Maybe the reason for the refusal is that in many Russian and foreign projects, Rossneft has BP's main partner.

[vadimtt]

Which is strange, because Rosneft harshly, in a "bratkovo" style, in the style of the 90s, threw BP (and at the same time all shareholders, especially minors) in the TNK-BP case. And I understand the Yukosovtsev in a way, because Rosneft is a real monster, a business wringer, unprincipled and long-entwined with the ruling elite (more precisely, created by it on the basis of squeezed companies).

[tralflot1832]

One of the projects with BP near Cyprus is a gas field. And in the Gulf of Mexico, not without BP's help (probably), Rossneft has finally successfully made a hole in the shelf.

[tralflot1832]

I found that in 2020 BP bought 19,75% of Rossneft shares and immediately BP's capitalization increased by $ 5 billion.

[vadimtt]

BP is looking for profits, and it is clear that without Rosneft it is expensive or impossible.
But no one will return the money to the minors, Sechin was still joking about this.

[rotmistr60]

Something in favor of Russia, and even more so in the United States, happens very rarely (almost never), but it happened. Thieves and fraudsters, and on the sidelines also the murderers broke off by 50 billion, but not yet completely. Now one hope for the court in the Netherlands, which has already established itself as "the most fair and impartial." This means that the red tape will continue, although the Russian side has officially announced that it is not going to pay for any decision.

[tihonmarine]

The American court, apparently, decided not to get involved in this protracted and pretty confusing process,

Americans do not like to mess with shit, in words - "We provide support!", And when it comes to a serious matter, then immediately - "Sorry, but look for fools."

[tovarich-andrey.62goncharov]

It is even strange, because the Vyshnevolotsk City Court of the Tver province has long ago decided to refuse this (and not only) ... What else is needed? ...

[TermNachTer]

Good news)))) let the instructor of the Bauman district committee of the Komsomol take a little rest from the stolen money)))

[Dzafdet]

From a dead donkey their ears, not money. We exist on small pensions, so it's better to raise pensions with this money ...

[Fisherman]

Not yet evening. The Yankees will pull these thieves' strings for a long time, then they will let them go, or they will pull them up. They have enough different states to hang out back and forth.

[Bolt cutter]

Appeal to Bulawayo District Court, judges a hundred bucks per snout, and won !

[Baloo]

Is it possible that what you typed in due time suddenly ended and you still want to, eh? They will now run from court to court, file lawsuits in all countries, maybe they will burn out where ... but no one will pay them anything anyway.

Here they write.

A court in the United States dismissed the case of former Yukos shareholders, in which they tried to recover $ 50 billion from Russia. According to the plaintiffs, they agreed with the second party to dismiss the case and determined the procedure for paying the costs.

After the amendments were made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Russian legislation has legislative priority in Russia over international legislation, and even more so over the legislation of a separate foreign country.

Not this way:
Article 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation
1. The Constitution of the Russian Federation has supreme legal force, direct effect and is applied throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. Laws and other legal acts adopted in the Russian Federation must not contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation [...]
4. The universally recognized principles and norms of international law and international treaties of the Russian Federation are an integral part of its legal system. If the international treaty of the Russian Federation establishes other rules than those provided for by law, the rules of the international treaty are applied.
But in Article 79 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, a new proposal appeared "Decisions of interstate bodies adopted on the basis of the provisions of international treaties of the Russian Federation in their interpretation, contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, are not subject to execution in the Russian Federation".

[Normann]

And the court of Abkhazia ordered the shareholders to pay off 15 billion to Burkino-Faso.

[p0pulivox]

Everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Failure to comply with decisions of international judicial bodies will most likely entail the seizure of foreign property of the state (accounts, securities, etc.) ...
