Summary

AMENDED MEMORANDUM OPINION

Yukos Capital Limited, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the now-defunct Yukos Oil, initiated this action to confirm an arbitral award that it secured against the Russian Federation after Russia came into possession of Yukos Oil's investment assets in what was allegedly a sham bankruptcy proceeding. Russia has moved to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and also to stay further proceedings. For the reasons that follow, the Court denies those motions.
