BUENOS AIRES, July 10 (Reuters) - Argentina has filed notice that it is appealing a U.S. court ruling that ordered the country to give up the 51% stake it holds in state energy company YPF YPFDm.BA, according to a court filing from Thursday.
The notice, filed in the U.S. District Court in the southern district of New York, appeals a decision by Judge Loretta Preska requiring Argentina to hand over the shares to partially satisfy a $16.1 billion court judgment over the 2012 state takeover of YPF.
