Thailand’s Supreme Administrative Court denied the request by Yingluck Shinawatra to reopen her rice-pledging compensation case. The ruling, issued on September 23, confirmed that her financial liability of over 10 billion baht remains in place. Judges determined that the materials submitted by her and her husband did not meet legal requirements for a retrial.

The decision confirms the massive state financial liability stemming from the national rice-pledging programs conducted in 2012 and 2013. The scheme, intended to boost rural incomes, resulted in significant financial trouble when the government purchased rice from local farmers at prices above the global market rate.
