The Supreme Court of Justice held that the first-instance decision to attach assets of the appellants as a protective measure in aid of Moldova’s application to enforce an SCC award was well-founded, legally correct, and based on a fair assessment of the factual circumstances and the correct application of the rules of the applicable Moldovan law. The Court dismissed the argument that the second appellant could not be directed to pay under the award as it had not been a party to the arbitration. Both appellants’ connection to the arbitration was obvious, in the Court’s opinion, as the share capital of the second appellant was the investment at issue in the BIT arbitration initiated by the first appellant against Moldova.
