Court of Appeal judge Justice Nolan Bereaux has dismissed a CEPEP contractor’s application for an urgent hearing of his appeal.

On August 7, Justice Margaret Mohammed stayed a lawsuit filed by contractor Eastman Enterprises against the CEPEP Company Ltd (CEPEP) and directed that all case documents be forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for investigation.

She ruled that the claim filed against CEPEP was “premature” and dismissed an application for an injunction to compel CEPEP to rehire contractors who had been terminated.
