The dispute between China Sunergy and REC Wafer Norway continues as China Sunergy released an update on the court proceedings. On November 5, 2010, the Supreme Court of the People’s Republic of China made a final binding decision that the Jiangsu Higher Court will have jurisdiction over the case.
Additionally, the Court of Appeal in Norway has permitted the injunction China Sunergy requested and has forbid Nordea Bank Norge to make payment, or for REC Wafer to receive payment, in regards to the US$50 million bank guarantee that Nordea Bank Norge issued to REC Sitech. The injunction will stand until the Court of Appeal makes a final decision for the overall disagreement between China Sunergy and REC Wafer.
