Judicial Commissioner Edward Timothy Starbuck Woolley recently struck out the claims of plaintiffs in a contractual dispute.
The case revolved around a contract between a gas company and Eversolve Business Services Sdn Bhd (Eversolve) for the renovation of a jetty. Eversolve, in turn, entered into a sub-contract with the plaintiffs, Decklite Access (B) Sdn Bhd and Decklite Australis Property Limited, for the work.
The gas company terminated the contract with Eversolve due to issues with work progress, which ultimately led to a cascade of complications, including disputes over the removal of equipment, entry visas, and security arrangements.
Consequently, the plaintiffs initiated legal proceedings in July 2021, seeking damages and losses totalling BND6,529,350 from the company.
