Ralls, which is owned by two executives of Chinese equipment maker Sany Group, has a right to a hearing to decide whether the US government must explain its action, according to reports on the Washington federal district court’s ruling.
The court cannot, however, overturn the President's order.
According to the China Daily newspaper, the judge ruled that presidential orders are not subject to judicial review, but "courts can hold hearings on whether the government deprived Ralls of its property without due process of law".
