US law firm Holland & Knight is representing Ukraine in a new US lawsuit seeking to enforce a nearly $7 million arbitration award against a Florida body armor supplier.
该所律师代表乌克兰国防部于周三向佛罗里达州联邦法院申请执行2023年针对JMS Capital Alliance LLC作出的仲裁裁决。
Lawyers at the firm on behalf of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense asked a federal judge in Florida on Wednesday to enforce a 2023 arbitration award issued against JMS Capital Alliance LLC.
乌克兰称,佛罗里达州的JMS因在乌克兰预付款后交付的防弹衣板未能通过所需的弹道测试而违反了供应合同。JMS未立即回应置评请求。
Ukraine has alleged Florida-based JMS breached a supply contract by delivering body armor plates that failed required ballistic tests after Ukraine paid in advance for them. JMS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
霍兰德与奈特的律师拒绝就该法律程序发表评论,但表示该所长期代表乌克兰处理法律事务。
Lawyers at Holland & Knight declined to comment on the legal proceeding but said the firm has long represented Ukraine on legal matters.
该所还在纽约和华盛顿特区联邦法院代表乌克兰辩护,涉及俄罗斯石油公司塔特涅夫(Tatneft)试图执行对乌克兰的1.73亿美元裁决的案件。霍兰德与奈特的罗伯特·肖(Robert Shaw)同时代表乌克兰处理塔特涅夫和JMS两起争议。
The firm is also defending Ukraine in New York and DC federal courts in cases involving the Russian oil company Tatneft's efforts to enforce a $173 million award against Ukraine. Holland & Knight’s Robert Shaw is representing Ukraine in both the Tatneft and JMS disputes.
法院记录显示,乌克兰在俄罗斯2022年入侵该国之后与JMS签订了供应协议。乌克兰称,超过4000件防弹衣缺少质量保证文件,因此该国予以拒收。
Ukraine entered into a supply agreement with JMS after Russia’s 2022 invasion of the country, court records show. Ukraine said more than 4,000 body-armor units were missing quality-assurance documents, and the country rejected them.
乌克兰表示,曾要求JMS要么更换未被接受的防弹衣,要么提供退款,但公司均未采取行动。
Ukraine said it asked JMS to either replace the unaccepted armor or provide a refund and that the company did neither.
