CFAO Gambia Limited has dragged Paradise Suites Hotel to court over a claim of D414, 125.00, being the alleged balance on the price of a generator reportedly sold and delivered to the defendant. In addition, a 28% interest per annum was also claimed on 29th February 2008 before Senior Magistrate Abdoulie Mbackeh of the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court.

The plaintiff claimed that by a verbal agreement some time in 2007 it agreed to sell to the defendant on credit a P350 KVA diesel FG Wilson Generator set. It further claimed that pursuant to the said agreement the plaintiff delivered to the defendant the said generator. The plaintiff went on to claim that it was agreed that the defendant would pay over a six-month installment basis starting from November 2007 and that pursuant to this the defendant issued post-dated cheques, of which some were returned unpaid.

The plaintiff’s claim indicated further that notwithstanding demands both made by and on behalf of the plaintiff through their solicitor, the defendant failed or refused to settle the outstanding sum.

The case was at that point adjourned for further hearing.
