Defence against arbitration award enforcement: GoI engages legal team to counter Cairn’s moves

The government has engaged a team of lawyers to fight any enforcement action by Cairn globally, officials told ET, responding to the UK-based company’s suit in a US court seeking to make state-owned Air India liable for a $1.2 billion arbitration award that it won in a tax matter against India.

A favourable court order could help Cairn seize Air India planes landing in the US.
