The Hague court to rule on Sulu award

KUALA LUMPUR: The Hague Court of Appeal in the Netherlands will decide today on the Sulu claimants’ application for the recognition and enforcement of a purported arbitral award of US$14.9bil (RM62.59bil) issued against Malaysia in February last year.

The court will also decide whether the purported final award issued by Spanish arbitrator Dr Gonzalo Stampa in 2022 to the eight individuals claiming to be heirs of the Sulu Sultanate may be enforced in the Netherlands.
