The Czech Health Ministry will appeal the Belgium verdict in the Diag Human
case at the country’s High Court, a spokesperson for the ministry said on
Friday.
The verdict, according to which the Czech Republic should pay Diag Human
14.5 billion crowns for not protecting the company’s investments in the
Czech Republic, was delivered at the end of December.
Diag Human sued the Czech Republic in several countries for thwarted
business in blood plasma trade, but the verdicts in the USA, the
Netherlands, Austria, Liechtenstein, France and the United Kingdom, all
favored the Czech Republic.
