A district court in The Hague ordered the lifting of pre-judgment third-party attachments previously obtained by two subsidiaries of Jura Energy Corporation. The attachments covered certain rights of Petroleum Exploration (Private) Limited under agreements with KUFPEC entities and supported enforcement of arbitral awards favoring the subsidiaries.
The summary proceedings were initiated by the KUFPEC entities.
In a June 4, 2026 judgment, the court directed that the attachments be removed and awarded legal costs against the subsidiaries. The ruling cited procedural grounds related to information the court determined should have been disclosed in the original attachment application. The court did not rule on the merits of the claims underlying the arbitral awards.
After deciding the procedural issue, the court stated it was unnecessary to consider other grounds raised for lifting the attachments. Jura Energy Corporation is based in Calgary, Alberta, and announced the court outcome on June 5, 2026.
