While it sounds lavish the part stating essentially “AVZ will come up with a way for it to be paid” doesn’t inspire confidence, because COM. are grubs, insight here from the more experienced would be gooood

Management very coy, making it sound like ICSID is the way forward keeping the pressure on, as they should.

"AVZ will consider what steps it will take in relation to recovery of the penalty."

Any ideas on how we will do this ?

If its commercial interest rates as in Australia its something like 8% plus the rate as determined by central bank.

An option is to sell the debt Cominière owes AVZ to a debt collection firm at a discount and use the funds to keep up the fight.

 

[rocknrolla]

Anyone got an understanding on this?

I wonder if through the local courts we could get the order enforced through seizure of assets? A certain stake in Manono Lithium springs to mind...

Could make for a useful bargaining chip anyway in future negotiations
