NCDC asks court to quash damage payment

Lawyer for NCDC, Peter Kuman, today asked the bench, made up of Justice Stephen Kassman, Justice John Logan and Justice Robert Lee Lindsay, to quash the National Court’s decision of 2 March 2016.

The National Court had previously ordered NCDC to pay Yama Security Services (YSS) Ltd a total of K17,871,510 in damages for breaching a contract, which was to have ended in 2002.

Today Kuman told the court that decision should be quashed because there was no evidence put by Yama Security Services of the loss it suffered then, as a result of the breach.

Appeal against Yama Securities to be heard in August

 The matter was set for hearing today by the High Court after the National Capital District Commission filed an appeal challenging that payment.

The damage payment stems from a breach of contract between NCDC and Yama Securities more than 16 years ago.

The National Court on March 2, ordered NCDC to pay Yama Security Services (YSS) Ltd a total of K17,871,510 in damages for breaching a contract. The case had been in court since 1999.
