The High Court has dismissed a $93,037.73 claim brought by a marine construction and equipment company against the Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (Petrotrin), ruling that the matter was filed outside the statutory period.

The sum represented money DAYNCO Ltd argued were unlawfully withheld under a retention clause from a 2014 contract for repair works.

Justice Marissa Robertson dismissed DAYNCO’s claim on October 1, and ordered the company to pay Petrotrin’s costs.
