Entes Industrial Plants Construction & Erection Contracting Co. Inc. v. Centerra Gold Inc.

The appeal is dismissed because the application judge's finding—that the Kyrgyz Republic had not de facto appropriated KGC and therefore was not the debtor to whom Centerra's intercompany payment was payable—was open on the record and supported by evidence (including ongoing Chapter 11 protection, injunctions, and international arbitration/GAA outcomes); there was no reversible error and the appellant was bound by the court‑approved plan and its releases.
