Recent practitioner and practice Litigation & Dispute Resolution highlights.

Satellite concession arbitration and administrative court proceedings

Represented Thaicom Public Company Limited and Gulf Development Public Company Limited in a landmark satellite telecommunications dispute against the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) concerning the scope of a satellite concession agreement in Thailand. The dispute centered on whether the Thaicom 7 and Thaicom 8 satellites were subject to the concession framework. The arbitral tribunal held that the satellites fell outside the concession agreement, and the Central Administrative Court upheld the award, dismissing MDES’s challenge. The Court confirmed the enforceability of arbitral determinations on concession scope, where based on the parties’ contractual arrangements. Our representation covered both the arbitration and enforcement proceedings. The decision strengthens regulatory certainty, protects satellite operators from expanded concession obligations, and reinforces investor confidence in Thailand’s telecommunications and digital infrastructure sector.

Telecom company dispute with state-owned enterprise

Represented a large telecommunication company as a plaintiff in a dispute with a state-owned enterprise. The client, responsible for a submarine fiber optic cable network along Thailand’s eastern coast, faced bad faith actions by a state-owned enterprise that reduced its revenue. After arbitration, an award of THB 3.3 billion was issued in favor of our client, but the state-owned enterprise refused to comply. The Central Administrative Court enforced the award, and the state-owned enterprise appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court. The Supreme Administrative Court has dismissed the state-owned enterprise’s appeal. Accordingly, the state-owned enterprise is bound to comply with both the judgment of the Central Administrative Court and the arbitral award.

Representing Kasikornbank acting as the bond representative in claiming repayment of debt from Stark Corporation

Additionally, the court has imposed punitive damages amounting to one-quarter of the compensated damages, further underscoring the severity of the misconduct involved. This decision not only reflects a rightful win for our client and the countless individuals affected, but also reinforces the integrity of legal proceedings in financial misconduct cases.
