Honasa Consumer Limited Wins Appeal in Dubai Court, Award Reduced to AED 1.7 Million
Honasa Consumer Limited's Dubai litigation appeal resulted in a reduced award from AED 25 million to AED 1.7 million. The company plans to appeal to the Cassation Court within 30 days. Delhi High Court previously granted an anti-enforcement injunction.
While the award has been significantly reduced, there is still a financial exposure and ongoing legal proceedings, which could have a moderate impact on the company.
The company achieved a significant reduction in the awarded amount, which is a favorable outcome in the ongoing litigation.
Honasa Consumer Limited has received a judgment from the Court of Appeal in Dubai, UAE, significantly reducing an awarded amount to RSM General Trading LLC. The original award of approximately AED 25 million for material and moral damages has been reduced to AED 1.7 million.
The Court of Appeal also acknowledged that RSM had breached contractual obligations, specifically failing to meet expected sales performance during the agreement term.
Honasa Consumer Limited intends to file an appeal against this judgment before the Cassation Court, the highest court in Dubai, within 30 days, in accordance with UAE procedural laws. This action follows a previous petition filed by the company under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act before the Delhi High Court. The Delhi High Court had granted an anti-enforcement injunction, restraining RSM from enforcing any judgments or decrees passed by the Dubai Courts.
It is important to note that due to ongoing arbitration proceedings in India, any judgments or orders from Dubai Courts will not be executable in India until the arbitration concludes. Similarly, enforceability in the UAE is contingent on the outcome of the appeal filed by Honasa Consumer Limited before the Cassation Court and any subsequent review.
