As he had previously hinted, Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC has filed a more than $400 million lawsuit against S. Maraj Contracting Services and the Assuria Insurance Company over incomplete work on the Leguan Island stelling.
The AG pegs the total sum owed to government at some $445,450,674 apart from interest, for what he says is breach of contract on the part of S. Maraj to complete rehabilitation works on the stelling.
He is seeking general damages in excess of $100,000,000 against the contractor for breach of contract; $41,325,926 as liquidated damages and $41,325,926 which he says is owed to the State by S. Maraj under performance bond issued by Assuria.
