FSD Pharma (NASDAQ: HUGE) (CSE: HUGE) (FRA: 0K9A), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions to address ailments affecting millions worldwide, announced that the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has confirmed its Petition to Confirm Arbitration Awards. The petition was entered against Dr. Raza Bokhari by a Canadian arbitrator in 2022. According to the announcement, the company will now move for entry of final judgment against Bokhari, who was terminated as FSD’s CEO in July 2021. Bokhari filed an arbitration challenging this termination, and after years of litigation and an eight-day evidentiary hearing, the arbitrator ruled against Bokhari and issued three awards in favor of FSD, including an award for damages and awards for FSD’s fees and costs incurred in the arbitration. “In its opinion granting FSD’s petition, the district court found that Bokhari did not offer any valid basis under the New York Convention for the court to deny enforcement of the arbitration awards against him,” stated the press release.
