Kuwait's state-run chemical company said it was studying its legal options after an international arbitrator ruled it must pay Dow Chemical Co $2.16 billion for wrongly cancelling a planned plastics joint venture in 2008.
The ruling against Petrochemical Industries Co (PIC) by the International Chamber of Commerce's International Court is believed to be one of the largest-ever arbitration awards, according to Dow's law firm, Shearman and Sterling LLP.
"The company's management is discussing with lawyers all of the legal proceedings that are available," state-run news agency KUNA said, citing a statement by PIC's chairman and managing director Maha Mulla Hussain.
