NMCH was forced into administration in 2020 after the disclosure of more than $4 billion in hidden debt left many UAE and overseas lenders with heavy losses. Law firm Quinn Emanuel, representing NMCH, said it was granted a final, anti-suit injunction from Abu Dhabi Global Market Court against Abu Dhabi investment firm Noor Capital to prevent it from enforcing a judgment debt of AED 567.2 million ($154.44 million). The law firm said Noor was attempting to execute a judgement for AED 567.2 million against NMCH in the Dubai courts, and seeking to put itself into a better position than other unsecured creditors. Noor Capital did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
