U.S. law firm Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle has represented the Republic of Indonesia in an International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) hearing against Churchill Mining, where the tribunal rejected Churchill’s claim and instead ordered the company to pay $9.4 million.

Churchill and its subsidiary Planet Mining took Indonesia to the ICSID in 2012 after the East Kutai administration in Indonesia’s East Kalimantan province revoked the company’s coal mining permits without proper compensation. The company claimed that the actions had resulted in losses worth up to $1.3 billion.

The three-member ICSID tribunal dismissed all claims made by Churchill, and ordered the company to pay $9.4 million to Indonesia, including ICSID costs worth $800,000. The claimants were represented by Clifford Chance.

The Curtis team included Washington office managing partner Claudia Frutos-Peterson and New York partner Mark O’Donoghue.
