Document Summary
Order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

This document is an Order and Final Judgment issued by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, addressing the Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment and Petition to Confirm an Arbitration Award.

The principal procedural issue before the Court was whether to grant default judgment in favor of the Plaintiff, Omni Bridgeway Limited, and to confirm the underlying arbitral award against the Defendants, which included the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy of the Republic of Albania. Relying upon the reasoning set forth in a concurrently issued Memorandum Opinion, the Court found sufficient legal and factual grounds to grant the requested relief in its entirety.

In its operative directions, the Court granted both the Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment and the Petition to Confirm the Arbitration Award. Consequently, the Court entered a final judgment in favor of the Plaintiff in the amount of $12,966,545.85. The Court explicitly designated the Order as a final judgment within the meaning of Rule 58(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and directed the Clerk of Court to terminate the case.
