Bolivia: The Permanent Court of Arbitration has found itself ‘without jurisdiction’ to resolve a claim by Consorcio Cementero del Sur, Grupo de Inversiones Gloria Bolivia, SOBOCE and Yura Inversiones Bolivia against the Bolivian government over the nationalisation of a stake in FANCESA. Local press has reported that Bolivian Attorney General’s Office welcomed the finding as a ‘resolution of the case in favour of the Bolivian state.’

US: A US federal court has upheld the ruling of a Colorado district court that Mexico-based Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua (GCC) must pay around US$36m compensation to Compañía de Inversiones Mercantiles (CIMSA) for failing to grant it a right of preference prior to GCC’s sale of its 47% stake in Sociedad Boliviana de Cemento (SOBOCE).

Peru-based Consorcio Cementero del Sur obtained 100% ownership of Bolivia-based SOBOCE following its acquisition of GCC’s stake in 2011.
