Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ​ Legal Matters ​ On February 6, 2025, the Louisiana Supreme Court affirmed the jury verdict and district court judgment in our favor in our long-running court case against Praxair/Linde, one of the industrial gas suppliers to our Geismar, Louisiana MDI manufacturing site, and entered a damages award consistent with Huntsman’s expert witness testimony at trial. The case was filed after Praxair refused to maintain properly its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gases needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. During the first quarter of 2025, we received a final award of approximately $66 million, which included mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest of approximately $23.5 million. We recognized income related to this matter of approximately $33 million, net of legal fees, during the first quarter of 2025. We expect to pay cash taxes related to this matter of approximately $8 million in future years. We are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various environmental, products liability and other laws. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
