    Legislative Council Secretariat FS17/11-12 FACT SHEET The decision by the Court of Final Appeal to seek an interpretation of the Basic Law from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress regarding the controversy of state immunity raised in the debt litigation of the Democratic Republic of Congo 1. Background 1.1 In respect of the case of Democratic Republic of Congo & Ors v FG Hemisphere Associates LLC ("Congo Case"), the judgment of the Court of Final Appeal ("CFA") of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("HKSAR"), dated 8 June 2011, ordered to seek an interpretation of Articles 13(1) and 19 of the Basic Law 1 from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ("SCNPC"). In view of the great importance of the CFA decision, Members agreed at the House Committee meeting on 7 October 2011 to invite the Secretary for Justice to attend a meeting of the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services to brief them on the matter. To facilitate Members' discussion on the Congo Case, this fact sheet provides a summary of relevant news reports and commentaries. 2. Highlight of the Congo Case 2.1 The Democratic Republic of Congo ("Congo") entered into contract with a Yugoslav company for construction of hydroelectric facilities, and broke the contract at last. The ensuing arbitration ruled in favour of the Yugoslav company, but Congo defaulted on the arbitral awards granted against it. FG Hemisphere Associates LLC ("FG"), a United States debt fund, later purchased the awards from the Yugoslav company. A consortium of Chinese state-owned companies acquired mineral exploitation rights in Congo had to pay entry fees to the country.
