MR. SAYAN ABDIKHAIRANOV v ASTANA INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE LTD.

The Claimant brought proceedings against AIX in relation to a dispute arising under a tripartite scholarship agreement concerning whether remote work performed in the USA qualified as relevant work under the agreement. The Court found that the core dispute lay with CIP, which was not a party to the proceedings, and that the AIFC Court lacked jurisdiction to determine the Claimant’s substantive dispute with CIP. The Court further held that there was insufficient evidence that AIX was a party to the tripartite agreement and dismissed the claim in full. Download PDF
