Dutch courts rules so far are with the ex-shareholders compensation claims, but with Steinhoff in their expensive creditors agreement ... so Steinhoff to pay for both sides.
SouthAfrican courts rules so far are dismissing the ex-shareholders compensation claims (according to the SA laws), while upholding claims that arrangements with creditors were never legal, and opening the door for court proceeds to maybe stop payments to creditors ... so Steinhoff not to pay for ex-shareholders and payments to creditors might need reconsideration.
It's hard to think that there can be an arrangement were the creditors are forced to accept giving up on a percentage of their loans and interest, and so far Steinhoff have never tried to confront the creditors, but Hamilton is trying, (note that many of the financial creditors had purchased the bonds after the December 2017 news of the accounting irregularities and had paid cents in the euro for them.).
Judge did rule that Steinhoff and the financial creditors would pay the applicant’s costs, including the fees of three counsel.
