DP World wins latest judgement in Hong Kong Court over Djibouti concession

DP World has won the latest in a string of court rulings as it defends its rights as shareholder and concessionaire in Djibouti’s Doraleh Container Terminal (DCT).

The Court of Appeal of Hong Kong has dismissed the latest request by China Merchants Port Holdings as it sought to file a second appeal before the Court of Final Appeal, against its previous decision that DP World’s suit against the company should be heard before Hong Kong courts and not the courts of Djibouti.

This means that DP World can move to a full hearing on the merits against China Merchants before Hong Kong Courts.
