A HIGH Court Judge has stayed a lawsuit filed by a contractor against The CEPEP Company (CEPEP) and has directed that all case documents be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for investigation.

On Thursday, Justice Margaret Mohammed ruled that the claim filed by Eastman Enterprise Ltd against CEPEP was "premature."

The judge found that Eastman Enterprise Ltd had failed to comply with its contract's dispute resolution clause, which required the parties to first attempt to settle the matter through mediation.
