# Panama Ports Company, CK Hutchison Subsidiary, Launches Arbitration Against Panama

Panama Ports Company S.A. (PPC), an indirect 90% owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, has initiated arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Panama. This action follows a decision by the Supreme Court of Justice of Panama to declare unconstitutional the law that approved PPC’s concession contract for operating the ports of Balboa and Cristóbal. CK Hutchison Holdings Limited’s board strongly disagrees with the determination and is consulting legal counsel, reserving all rights for further legal recourse.
