In a recent decision, in a claim of the Claimants versus Motorola at the Tribunal judiciaire de Paris, Article 14 of the French Civil Codes, application to the Claimants has been confirmed by a decision of the Court. This Article 14 is the same article the Claimants represent in the Winterfell Case against the Defendants.

Forum: Tribunal judiciaire de Paris, France
Claimants: Murat Hakan Uzan & Cem Cengiz Uzan
Defendants: Jointly & Severally for the totality of the case:
TASARRUF MEVDUATI SIGORTA FONU Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (Turkey) ("TMSF") and Motorola Solutions Credit Company LLC;
Together with each of the following parties for their own participation and contribution to the damages : Vodafone Group Public LTD., Mrs. Suzan SABANCI, Mrs. Cigdem SABANCI, Mrs. Vuslat SABANCI, Mrs. Serra SABANCI, Mrs. Sevil SABANCI, Mrs. Dilek SABANCI, Mr. Omer Metin SABANCI, Mrs. Turkan SABANCI, Mr. Nihat OZDEMIR, Mr. Batuhan OZDEMIR, Mrs. Filiz SAHENK, Mrs. Deniz SAHENK, Mr. Ferit SAHENK, Arzuhan YALCINDAG, Mr. Zeki ZORLU, Mr. Ahmet Nazif ZORLU, Mrs. Ebru OZDEMIR KISLALI, Mr. Asim KIBAR, Mr. Ali KIBAR, Mr. Aydin DOGAN, Mrs. Hanzade Vasfiye DOGAN BOYNER, and others (60 Defendants in total).
Factual Background: The claims relate to the abuse of power by TMSF which fraudulently seized companies ultimately owned by the Claimants and sold their assets. These actions were unlawful and without any legal basis under applicable law and therefore void. Third parties who purchased the assets knowing that the assets were improperly disposed of are equally liable.
Quantum: The amount claimed is not less than $69 billion, which is estimated to increase by $3.5 billion annually until judgement due to the accrual of interest and ongoing losses. The quantum of damages is evidenced by an expert report and is supported by TMSF’s own statements.
The case has been independently assessed by a leading French Law firm who have estimated the likelihood of success of the Claimants’ claims as follows:
