webfact Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 A landmark ruling last month by the Constitutional Court has handed the Thai government a lifeline in its three-decade-old battle over the multibillion-baht Hopewell saga. On March 17, the court overturned the Supreme Administrative Court’s 2002 resolution on the statute of limitations for the Hopewell case. The court explained that the resolution was invalid because it had not been sent to Parliament for inspection or published in the Royal Gazette as required by the Constitution. The new ruling revives Thai authorities’ hopes of escaping a court order to pay Bt25.4 billion in compensation for the 1998 cancellation of the Bt80-billion elevated highway and railway project.

Thingamabob Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 This was a disaster for Thailand's reputation at the time. All long ago and long forgotten by most people. The Thais were never going to pay up, hence these latest moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 ...and that's taken 19 years to do. And 23 years since the cancellarion. Perhaps the successive governments have been busy elsewhere. How many coups since 1998? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
