The London-based Privy Council has sent back a dispute between a transport contractor and the State over the detention of a dumper truck.
In a ruling reversing a Court of Appeal decision, the Privy Council ruled that the Attorney General may proceed with its defence of part of a claim filed by Edasco Ltd.
The British law lords held that the Appeal Court erred in striking out the State’s defence for a specific period and ordered the dispute to return to the High Court for the relevant issues to be considered and resolved.
