Unfavourable Decision for Khan in ARMZ Litigation

02.04.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/02/13 -- Khan Resources Inc. (CNSX: KRI) ("Khan" or "the Company") announced today that it has received the decision of the Court of Appeal for Ontario in respect of Khan's attempts to effect service of its lawsuit against Atomredmetzoloto JSC ("ARMZ") in which it is seeking damages of $300 million. The Court of Appeal dismissed Khan's appeal and its attempts to validate, substitute or dispense with service of the Statement of Claim.


Khan has been attempting to effect service of the lawsuit on ARMZ since late 2010. After following the necessary procedures in Russia to serve ARMZ, Khan's attempts at service were stymied when the Russian Ministry of Justice refused to effect service. The Ministry of Justice cited Article 13 of the Hague Convention that provides that the State addressed may refuse to effect service "only if it deems that compliance would infringe its sovereignty or security". The Ministry of Justice provided no reason or explanation for why service of Khan's lawsuit would infringe Russian sovereignty or security.


Mr. Grant Edey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Khan commented, "We are disappointed by the outcome of the decision. We find it highly regrettable that ARMZ, a business with substantial interests in Canada, can engage in business with a Canadian company and then be sheltered by its shareholder, the Government of Russia, from being held accountable in a Canadian court for the wrongdoing and the damages inflicted on Khan and its shareholders."


Khan is reviewing the decision and is considering the options available to it.
