State seeks to halt enforcement of US$22m payout
The AG office asked the civil court to dismiss Dheebaja’s lawsuit.

The Attorney General’s office has asked the civil court to dismiss a lawsuit seeking the enforcement of a multi-million dollar payout ordered by the Supreme Court last month.
The US$22.5 million payout was won by Dheebaja Investment as compensation for the cancellation of a contract to provide ferry services in four northern atolls.
A closed-door hearing took place at the civil court Monday after the company sought an order to enforce the apex court’s judgment.
In a statement Tuesday night, the AG office accused the civil court of contravening procedural rules in accepting the enforcement case.
