The Court of Appeal has today found in TCI Government’s favour, sending Trade Winds’ Court claim to be decided in arbitration.
The judgment overturns Judge Ramsey Hale’s earlier decision that the claim which had been brought against the Government ought to be heard by the Courts.
TCIG maintained that the proceedings should not be brought in Court, but in arbitration as the parties agreed.
TCIG was awarded 75% of their costs from Trade Winds.
“I am delighted that we have prevailed” said Attorney General Huw Shepheard.
“This is an excellent result, consistent with TCIG’s position in this litigation from the start. I am pleased that we have been granted most of our costs and I hope that they are paid swiftly so that we are not out of pocket in having to deal with this claim which we have said all along is without merit.”
