    Citation
    Judgment No. 1301 F-D
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation rejected Commercial Bank Guinea Ecuatorial's appeal. It held that the 2012 settlement had the authority of a final judgment, that CBGE had renounced reliance on the 2009 award, and that disputes over the settlement's performance had to follow the settlement's conciliation or arbitration procedure; the aircraft attachment was therefore released.
