February 22, 2021 – In the latest
win for HHR client Global Gaming Asset Management in a nearly
eight-year-long legal battle with a Philippine gaming resort owner,
Singapore's highest court upheld a US $296 million arbitral
award on liability in favor of the Las Vegas-based casino
operator.
On Feb. 16, the Singapore Court of Appeal upheld the Singapore
High Court's decision dismissing Bloomberry Resorts'
application to set aside and resist enforcement of the award on
liability. Issued in September 2016 by a Singapore-based
arbitration tribunal, the liability award declared wrongful
Bloomberry's termination of a contract with Global Gaming to
build and operate a five-star casino and hotel in Manila.
