A local consultancy firm has appealed a High Court ruling dismissing its lawsuit for outstanding fees, rent and compensation stemming from an alleged tenancy and service agreement with an attorney, his practice and a related property management firm.

Aaron Knights Enterprises Ltd (AKEL), owned by managing director Aaron Knights, maintains it was unlawfully evicted from its office space and denied payment for consultancy services rendered over several years.

In a ruling on May 13, Justice Joan Charles dismissed AKEL’s lawsuit, which claimed over $84,000 in outstanding consultancy fees, rent compensation, and damages stemming from a tenancy and service agreement dispute with Hove’s Court Ltd, Hove and Associates and its principals, attorneys Farai Hove Masaisai and Trishauna Scarlett Hove-Masaisai.
