The court rejected P&ID’s appeal, citing reprehensible conduct, and ruled that the £20 million must be paid within 28 days. In October, the UK court upheld Nigeria’s claim that the gas processing contract was obtained by fraud, freeing the country from the $11 billion judgment debt
The court’s latest ruling enforces the payment, denying P&ID’s request for an appeal on the currency. Nigeria had sought at least £20 million to cover damages and legal fees.
