What's the back up if Locke decide it's not worth the risk ? Would Nigel then need to go to share holders ? Apart from progress behind the scenes share holders are not privy to , I'm trying to wrap my head around why anyone would loan $20 mil to a company in this situation . Essentially AVZ is paying Locke US$200K to decide whether Locke would like to loan AVZ $20mil, and they have until end of March 2024 to make a decision . I think the meat of the $20 mil announcement got lost in the headline . So my question is , what's AVZ's back up plan if they cannot raise the $$$$ ?
I'd probably say Locke might have even been a backup plan.
Enforcement of injunctive breach is higher than 20mil already. This one is basically a slamdunk, you did read the second ruling where Cominiere was asked to pay the court fees and legal fees etc. Just waiting for the tribunal to come together and we can be on our way to getting that cash - late Jan. Also measures from ICSID have a penalty attached but they move a little slower, but still lightspeed for legal cases.
All these small things are pushing the needle in our favour for the dominoes to fall, ICC win, trickled into ICSID etc. When the dominoes come crashing down, the other parties will be paying DLA's fees as seen in the injunctive relief already obtained.
Note: these aren't the final verdicts which are for full damages and remedies, these are injunctive breaches which are payable basically as soon as a verdict is rendered, these move much faster and will all occur before March 2024.
To illustrate:
- ICC Emergency injunction submitted April 18, Emergency ruling May 4.
- ICC Emergency injunction 2 (post 15775) submitted October 30, emergency ruling Nov 15.
- ICC tribunal already formed and waiting for submissions before Dec 15 - enforcement will come around January for breaches already incurred.
- Emergency measures request ICSID Nov 7, Tribunal response Nov 20 with measures and timetables, sets Dec 11 hearing - verdict likely before Christmas.
