We are pleased to announce that Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy (“MBH”) Litigation Team has successfully secured a favorable settlement for Misr Beni Suef Cement Co. after prolonged disputes before the Egyptian courts.
The dispute pertains to an arbitral award issued by CRCICA in 2022 against our client in a case handled by another law firm with an excess amount of EGP 455 million, including interests accrued until the settlement date.
Our client secured an amount exceeding EGP 195 million from the arbitral award by virtue of this settlement. Furthermore, our client received a spare parts inventory from the opposing party along with the latter’s waiver of the entire arbitral award and putting an end to all the pending disputes.
