THE COURT OF APPEAL: FACTS and MATTERS PERTAINING Anatolie Stati is the holder of all of the shares of Ascom Group S.A. (hereinafter “Ascom”), a public limited company under Moldovan law. Anatolie Stati and her son Gabriel Stati each hold half of the shares in Terra Raf Trans Traiding [sic] Ltd (hereinafter “Terra Raf”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Gibraltar. Between 1999 and 2005, Anatolie and Gabriel Stati, through Ascom and Terra Raf, acquired 100% of the shares of two Kazakh companies, namely Kazpolmunay LLP (hereinafter “KPM”) and Tolkynneftegaz LLP (hereinafter “TNG”), which were authorised by the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter “Kazakhstan”) to explore and develop various oil and gas deposits in Kazakhstan pursuant to subsoil exploitation agreements. KPM is 100% owned by Ascom, which in turn is 100% owned by Anatolie STATI, while TNG is 100% owned by Terra Raf, which in turn is equally owned by Anatolia and Gabriel Stati. Anatolie Stati is also the 100% owner of Tristan Oil Ltd. (hereinafter “Tristan”), a company in the British Virgin Islands which was created, according to Anatolie and Gabriel Stati, for the sole purpose of financing the activities of KPM and TNG. In 2006, Ascom (and Terra Raf) via TNG started the project for the construction of a liquefied petroleum gas plant in Kazakhstan (hereinafter “LPG Plant”), in cooperation with the oil company Vitol FSU B. V. (hereinafter “Vitol”). At the end of 2008, the Kazakh authorities reported several serious breaches committed during the operations carried out by KPM and TNG. On 21 July 2010, the Ministry of Oil and Gas of the Republic of Kazakhstan terminated the land use licences of KPM and TNG. The oil fields have been taken over, through a trust, by the state oil company KazMunaiGas (hereinafter “KMG”) and its subsidiary KazMunaiTeniz (hereinafter “KMT”). 2 On 26 July 2010, Anatolie Stati, Gabriel Stati, Ascom and Terra Raf (together “the Stati”) filed arbitration proceedings before the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (hereinafter “SCC Institute”) in Sweden, based on the Energy Charter Treaty (hereinafter “the ECT”), signed on 17 December 1994, for the promotion and protection of foreign investment in the energy sector. In an award of 19 December 2013, the arbitral Tribunal found that Kazakhstan had breached its obligations under the ECT with respect to the investments of the Stati and decided that Kazakhstan should pay the Stati the sum of USD 497,685,101.00 plus default interest (of which USD 199,000,000.00 was to be damages and interest for the LPG Plant). By means of a corrective award of 17 January 2014, the Tribunal made a correction to the costs of the arbitration and fixed the allocation of the arbitrators' fees. An appeal by Kazakhstan to set aside the arbitration award was dismissed by decision of the Stockholm Court of Appeal (hereinafter “SVEA Court”) of 9 December 2016. An appeal against this decision to the Supreme Court of Sweden has not been allowed. Various exequatur and enforcement proceedings have been initiated by the Stati in the United States, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Italy and Luxembourg. PROCEDURE By Order No. 40/2017 issued on 30 August 2017, a first Vice-President of the District Court of Luxembourg, replacing the President who was legitimately prevented from attending, declared enforceable in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as if it had come from a domestic court, the arbitral award of 19 December 2013, issued by “The Arbitral Tribunal, Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce” consisting of Prof. Karl-Heinz BOCKSTIEGEL, President, David R.

Traiding Ltd, on the one hand, and the Republic of KAZAKHSTAN, on the other. By a writ of summons of 2 November 2017, the Republic of Kazakhstan lodged an appeal under Articles 1250 and 682 of the New Code of Civil Procedure, against the order served on it on 2 October 2017.

  • An Eirenicon
    THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND A PORTION OF CHRIST’S ONE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND A MEANS OF RESTORING VISIBLE UNITY. AN EIRENICON, In a Letter TO THE AUTHOR OF “THE CHRISTIAN YEAR.” BY E. B. PUSEY, D.D., REGIUS PROFESSOR OF HEBREW, AND CANON OF CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD. NEW YORK: D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, 1866 Project Canterbury AD 2003 An Eirenicon, by Edward Bouverie Pusey (1866) MY DEAREST FRIEND, You think that, Dr. Manning’s last letter having been addressed to myself, it is desirable that I should in some way reply to it. It would cost me much, not to undertake any task which you might wish me to essay. You know how long it has been my wish to part with all controversy, and to consecrate the evening of my life to the unfolding of some of the deep truths of God’s Holy Word, as God might enable me, by aid of those whom He has taught in times past. This employment, and practical duties which God has brought to me, were my ideal of the employments of the closing years of a laborious life. The inroad made upon the Gospel by unbelievers, or half-believers, compelled me in part to modify this my hope. Still, since there is a common foe, pressing alike upon all who believe in Jesus, I the more hoped, at least, to be freed from any necessity of controversy with any who hold the Catholic faith. The recent personal appeal of Dr. Manning to myself seems, as you and other friends think, to call for an exception to this too; yet, since “the night cometh when no man can work,” I trust that I shall not be thought to shrink from duty, if, hereafter, I should maintain a silence, in order to give myself to that which seems to me more especially my calling.

Alphonsus Ihuoma Submitted to the graduate degree program in Law and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D) ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) _______________________________ Professor Virginia Harper Ho (Member) ________________________________ Professor Uma Outka (Member) ________________________________ Richard Coll (Member) Date Defended: May 15, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE HOLY SEE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW: ASSESSING THE SOCIAL MISSION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE GATT- WTO SYSTEM by Fr. Alphonsus Ihuoma ________________________________ Professor Raj Bhala (Chairperson) Date approved: May 15, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Man, as a person, is superior to the state, and consequently the good of the person transcends the good of the state. The philosopher Jacques Maritain developed his political philosophy thoroughly informed by his deep Catholic faith. His philosophy places the human person at the center of every action. In developing his political thought, he enumerates two principal tasks of the state as (1) to establish and preserve order, and as such, guarantee justice, and (2) to promote the common good. The state has such duties to the people because it receives its authority from the people. The people possess natural, God-given right of self-government, the exercise of which they voluntarily invest in the state.

Blanchard, B.A., MSt. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2018 ABSTRACT EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FORERUNNERS OF VATICAN II: EARLY MODERN CATHOLIC REFORM AND THE SYNOD OF PISTOIA Shaun L. Blanchard Marquette University, 2018 This dissertation sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated Vatican II. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of “late Jansenism.” Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the Bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the increasingly ultramontane nineteenth-century Catholic Church. Nevertheless, many of the reforms implicit or explicit in the Pistoian agenda – such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions – were officially promulgated at Vatican II.
