The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mance, Chief Justice of the AIFC Court, commented:
“I am delighted that the AIFC Court has become an active commercial court as it comes to the end of its fourth year of operations. The AIFC Court has given 21 judgments and has ongoing case work including a range of contractual disputes in the commercial field. I am particularly pleased that, despite the pandemic, the AIFC Court has not been confined to remote hearings but has recently heard its first case in its world class premises in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. I welcome the constitutional arrangement under which the first case has, by consent of the parties to the case, been transferred from the national courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan to, and has so been dealt with by, the AIFC Court. I am also grateful to all the other Justices of the Court and to the Registrar and Chief Executive for recently renewing their commitment to the AIFC Court for another five years. International investors can be confident that the world class standards of justice provided by the AIFC Court are assured for the future.
