Document Doraleh Container Terminal SA v. Republic of Djibouti, 23-7023 (D.C. Cir. Jul. 30, 2024)
The Djiboutian court agreed and appointed a provisional administrator, Chantal Tadoral, ostensibly independent of either shareholder, to manage Doraleh in place of the board of directors controlled by DP World.
