I. Factual and Procedural Background 

The present order deals with a Request for Provisional Measures (the “Request”) filed 1.by the Republic of Indonesia (the “Respondent”) on 22 November 2012, by which the Respondent requested that the Tribunal: 

a. Order the Claimant to refrain from making false, unfounded and misleading statements in the media regarding the case at hand; and 

b. Order the Claimant to refrain from approaching and/or persuading and/or inducing any officials [of] the Government of the Republic of Indonesia [to enter into] any “amicable” settlement outside the present arbitration proceedings.1 

In its Reply to Claimant’s Response to Request for Provisional Measures (the 2.“Reply”), which was dispatched to the Tribunal on 7 January 2013, the Respondent reiterated its request for the same measures to be ordered by the Tribunal.2 

Churchill Mining PLC (the “Claimant”) has objected to the Request and has asked the 3.Tribunal to: 

a. Reject the Respondent’s Request for Provisional Measures; and 

b. Direct the Respondent to pay all the Claimant’s costs and expenses of responding to this Request.3
