in Appeal and Protected Its Rights and Interests Overseas

2020-11-12


On November 11, 2020, the Dubai Court of Appeal ruled in the favor of the Dubai subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned enterprise (hereinafter referred to as "Company B") in its appeal against Iran's AMK company. The second instance judgment of the Dubai Court of Appeal ruled to revoke the judgment of the first instance and reject all claims of AMK, the plaintiff of the first instance. It marked a complete victory for the case jointly represented by Mr. Jia Huaiyuan and Mr. Hussain from DeHeng's Dubai Office.

In March 2018, a domestic subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned enterprise (hereinafter referred to as "Company A") signed an international sales contract for engineering steel with Iran's AMK company to sell steel worth 7 million dirhams to the latter. For the convenience of settlement, AMK was instructed to pay the deposit and payment to Company B in Dubai for settlement. Company A fulfilled its contract and shipped the steel to Iran and delivered it to the AMK-designated receiver, but AMK requested Company A to ship prohibited materials for it, which Company A rejected.


In September 2019, Company B in Dubai received a judgment from local court, demanding it pay 7 million dirhams to AMK, which stated that AMK paid 7 million dirhams to Company B without receiving any goods from the latter. Company B was shocked by the judgment that came out of blue and immediately sought help from Mr. Jia Huaiyuan, the director and partner of DeHeng's Dubai Office.


After more than a year of extensive investigations and evidence gathering, the DeHeng team promptly filed an appeal, presented facts and evidence, and hired financial experts and shipping experts to appraise and evaluate the payment and shipping, and eventually overturned all the first-instance judgments. This complete victory again demonstrated DeHeng's professionalism, which provided strong legal support for Chinese companies overseas, and protected their lawful rights.
