Supreme Court to decide a Sh33 billion lender-clothing company case
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether it will suspend proceedings pending at the High Court in which companies owned by Business mogul Mohan Galot are seeking Sh33 billion in damages.
Standard Chartered Financial Services Limited wants the proceedings suspended saying no financial institution can afford such a huge dent in its finances.
"The Sh33 billion is so colossal that it would draw any financial institution in Kenya and certainly any enterprise to its knees," the bank through senior counsel George Oraro says.
The suspension, he says, is to allow them to pursue an appeal at the Supreme Court.
The assessment of damages commenced in October 2023 and was to be finalised on June 3, 2024.
It stems out of a loan advanced to the companies in the 80’s.
The matter which is before High Court Judge Alfred Mabeya had been fixed for hearing on May 24 this year.
