The To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA) has lost its bid to over­turn an $18 mil­lion de­fault judg­ment ob­tained against it by a con­tract­ing com­pa­ny, af­ter it failed to prop­er­ly de­fend its law­suit over un­paid fees.

In a de­ci­sion de­liv­ered on Tues­day, High Court Judge Ricky Rahim dis­missed the THA’s ap­pli­ca­tion to set aside the de­fault judg­ment ob­tained by Nazvic Con­trac­tors Lim­it­ed in Feb­ru­ary last year.

The com­pa­ny filed a breach of con­tract case in De­cem­ber 2023 in re­la­tion to sev­er­al con­tracts it per­formed for the THA.
