Citi FM has learnt that the lawyers of Kludjeson International Limited have applied to the Chief Justice to transfer the new action they have brought against Hutchison and Certwell from the High Court to the Fast Track High Court.
Reports also indicate that the Chief Justice has issued instructions transferring the matter to be placed before another judge in Fast Track Court 4.
Checks at the court premises revealed that the matter was not listed before the new judge for today.
The lawyers for Hutchison and Certwell were around the courts, but the lawyers for the Plaintiff who had applied for the transfer were nowhere to be found.
The matter, however, could not be heard, as it turned out from our inquiries because although the Chief Justice has indeed made an order transferring the case, the transfer was yet to be brought to the attention of the court.
Further investigations also revealed that Hutchison and Certwell have filed papers challenging the Plaintiff’s application for injunction to restrain them from selling their shares in Kasapa Telecom, and that in those papers, Hutchison challenges the legal and factual basis of the Plaintiff’s claim that they want to sell shares in Kasapa.
The Defendants have filed another application to dismiss the entire case.
It appears now that in this new action filed by Kludjeson, all parties and interested persons will have to wait for the formal transfer instructions to be issued and then the battle will resume in another courtroom and a different judge.
