Atomredmetzoloto (“ARMZ”) litigation – On April 2, 2013 the Court of Appeal for Ontario dismissed
Khan’s appeal to validate, substitute or dispense with service of Khan’s Statement of Claim against ARMZ,
its Russian partner in Mongolia. ARMZ had avoided service of the Statement of Claim as the Russian
Ministry of Justice had invoked Section 13 of the Hague Convention which allowed Russia to refuse to
serve ARMZ as a matter of Russian sovereignty or security. Khan has decided not to appeal this decision to
the Supreme Court of Canada.
