VAMED condemns the seizure of their vehicles taken without authorisation

VAMED regards this brazen action as an unjustified interference with its property rights and a serious escalation while the underlying hospital contract dispute remains subject to arbitration under the International Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Rules.

We acknowledge the Full Court’s September ruling setting aside the earlier preservation orders. However, VAMED’s position is that this does not dispense with the requirement for the Guyana Revenue Authority to establish a lawful basis for its separate enforcement action and comply with applicable procedures. The contractual dispute remains for determination through arbitration.

VAMED calls on the GRA to disclose immediately the legal grounds and documentation supporting the seizure, explain the absence of prior notification, and return the vehicles unless a lawful basis for their continued detention is established.
