A CONTRACTOR’S bid to recover more than $90 million from the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) over a road project completed almost two decades ago has been thrown out by the High Court.

The claim brought by Rag­hunath Singh and Compa­ny Ltd was dismissed by High Court Justice Frank Seepersad yesterday, and the judge also directed that the contractor pay $636,590.07 in legal costs to the assembly.

The company had sought over $27 million in special damages and more than $53 million in interest arising from works on the L’Anse Fourmi-Charlotteville Road Project. With value added tax (VAT) added, the claim exceeded $90 million.
