US court asked to enforce $320m claim against Argentina

A long-standing legal dispute over the renationalisation of Aerolineas Argentinas has resurfaced in the United States, with a Washington DC court being asked to enforce a $325 million award issued against Argentina. The petition was filed by Titan Consortium 1 LLC, who acquired an interest in the case from Burford Capital in 2018 for $107 million. After an arbitration tribunal rendered an award in favour of the claimants in 2017, Burford decided to sell its stake in order accelerate cash recovery and be able to reinvest the capital. It reported a gain of $94.2 million on the case after investing $12.8 million into the matter. More from ch-aviation.
