A HIGH COURT JUDGE has dismissed an application by Cepep Company Ltd seeking summary judgment or to strike out a breach-of-contract claim brought by a contractor, ruling that the dispute raises triable issues suitable for a full trial.

Justice Robin Mohammed held that Tombo and Company Ltd has a realistic prospect of success in its claim arising from the early termination of a three-year services contract.

The decision arose from an amended application filed by Cepep on May 7, 2021, seeking summary judgment or to strike out Tombo’s claim and statement of case.
