AND UPON
the Rules of the DIFC Court (
“RDC”
)
IT IS HEREBY DECLARED THAT:
1. On 8 August 2019 the First Defendant paid the Claimants, all monetary relief owed and awarded to the Claimants under the Awards, including damages, legal costs, arbitration costs, and simple interest, ordered against the First Defendant by the Tribunal in the Final Award & Injunction.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
2. The Awards shall be recognised as binding within the DIFC and shall be enforced in the same manner as a judgment or order of the DIFC Courts pursuant to Article 42(1) and Article 43(1) of the DIFC Arbitration Law No. 1 OF 2008 and Article 24 of the DIFC Court Law No. 10 of 2004.
3. Judgment is hereby entered in the terms of the Partial Award.
4. Judgment is also hereby entered in the terms of the Final Award & Injunction.
5. The costs of this application are reserved.
6. Pursuant to RDC 43.70(1), either of the Defendants may apply to set aside this Order within 14 days of being served with this Order.
7. Pursuant to RDC 43.70(2), this Order may not be enforced until after: (a) the end of the period set out in paragraph 6 above; or (b) the final disposal of any application made within that period by any of the Defendants to set aside this order.
AND IT IS HEREBY DECLARED THAT:
8. This Order and Judgment and the underlying Redacted Awards shall be published in accordance with RDC 43.39, 43.41(2), 43.42(2), 43.42(3)(a) and 43.42(3)(b). The Defendants and Claimants have agreed to a redacted version of the Awards that is non-confidential. The Redacted Awards have already been filed publicly or are publicly available in proceedings in the State of California in the United States (
MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc. et al. v. IQVIA Holdings Inc. et al
., Case No. 3:19-cv-01865-GPC-DEB (S.D. Cal.) (Dkt Nos. 151-4 and 170)) and in the Cayman Islands (FSD 191 of 2019 (RMJ) -
In the Matter of MedImpact Arabia Limited
(Cayman Islands), Exhibit LBS-1 to the First Affidavit of Luke Burgess-Shannon, dated Nov. 4, 2020).
9. In accordance with RDC 43.42(3)(a) and (b), the Court is therefore satisfied that the Redacted Awards may be published in the DIFC because they would not reveal any matter that has not already been made public nor would they reveal any matter (including the identity of any party) that any party reasonably wishes to remain confidential. Therefore, this Order and the Redacted Awards shall also be made public on the DIFC Courts docket.
