Court grants Hotel Tower time extension on plan for paying staff

Management of the Hotel Tower has been granted a time extension by the court to formulate a plan as it pertains to litigation brought by the Ministry of Labour for payment for the hotel’s staff that are owed.

The Labour Ministry had initiated legal action last month to get the previous owners to pay the over $5 million owed to workers.

Through its lawyer, Pricilla Chandra, the ministry filed a summons asking that the court order the hotel’s management to pay up on debts to the workers and any other sum the court feels the workers should get.

The matter was called on Monday in the High Court and attorney for Hotel Tower,
