BAGHDAD - Iraq's Commercial Court has postponed a first hearing in the Oil Ministry's lawsuit against international oil companies operating in Iraqi Kurdistan because — with one exception — the defendants did not show up in court.
"Seeing as the defendants did not show up at the court for today's session, we have decided to postpone it to June 9," said Judge Saif, who was identified only by his first name and did not have a name plate at his podium.
