One day after filing a more than $700 million lawsuit against building contractor BK International for failing to complete construction of the Yarrowkabra Secondary School, Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC yesterday brought a similar suit against another contractor—this time for more than $400 million against Courtney Benn Contracting Services Limited (CBCSL) for what he says is its failure to complete construction work on another secondary school—the St. Rose’s High.
Nandlall’s first suit was against BK and the NAFICO Insurance Company. His latest action, however, is against CBCSL and the CARICOM General Insurance Company.
In this latest challenge, the AG is seeking from the defendants jointly and severally damages in excess of $100 million dollars for alleged breach of contract on the part of CBCSL for the reconstruction of the St. Rose’s High School.
