A New York court has denied a motion by the government of Sri Lanka to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Hamilton Reserve Bank following the default by the GOSL on a sum of more than USD 257 Mn of bonds and interest payments. Clifford Chance US LLP represented Sri Lanka government.

The Government has asked for the case in New York over the country’s debt default to be dismissed, claiming that the litigation initiated by one bank is an “apparent attempt to gain leverage over a nation in crisis and jump ahead of other international creditors.” - DM
