There was no “amicable resolution” of the dispute between the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) and the Linden Blue Lake energy project’s investors over the legitimacy of a lease for the area and this has resulted in the latter party taking legal action.
“We believe that there was a breach of contract for the property that was leased to Ms [Benjamin-]Fauconier when we were informed that her lease was terminated,” said attorney F. Anthony, who represents Sharon Benjamin-Fauconier, Director of the Guyana Initiative Against Climate Change (GIACC).
“It is our contention that it was not legally terminated…the long and short of it is we don’t believe that the lease was legally terminated,” the attorney added.
