A “rental” car company was accused of failing to comply with a court order
Attorney Matafeo George Latu told the Supreme Court earlier this week that a “rental” car company had allegedly failed to comply with a court order to shut down its operations, including buses.
Matafeo told the court that the company continued to collect revenue from their car “lease,” a situation that violated the court’s order.
The plaintiffs in this case, Mvoice Pty Ltd and Contextual Technology Pty Ltd, asked the court to respond immediately to hear the case.
The defendants in the case are Brittanie Patricia Roepke or O’Grady, Karl Ropke and Samoa Alofa Rentals. Their lawyer is Tuatagaloa Shane Wolfe.
According to Matafeo, 40 vehicles are involved and it is necessary to review this issue as soon as possible because the defendants continue to collect the proceeds of these cars.
Supreme Court Justice Fepuleai Ameperosa Roma has scheduled the case for Chief Justice Satiu Simativa Perese to be heard next Friday.
Last month, the Chief Minister accepted a request to remove 60 vehicles from the “rental” car company.
According to the history of this case, the plaintiff maintains that there was an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant to import 62 vehicles from Australia to Samoa in order to be able to use the defendant to carry on a “rental” vehicle business.
The plaintiffs believed that the dispute between them arose because the defendants failed to submit the amount received from the 62 vehicles, followed by the amount received from the purchase of two vehicles, totaling $120,000 in WST; and the $120,000 portion of the unauthorized purchase of two other vehicles.
However, the defendants argued that they had no such agreement with the plaintiffs.
But an agreement was reached with Mr. Craig Lawrence, who is not involved in the case. According to the plaintiff and Lawrence, in that agreement no funds would be requested until the company was profitable, so there was no reason to send financial reports.
The court accepted the defendant’s request to transport all vehicles to the “Federal Pacific” parking lot or Fun Way Park in Mataututai. All vehicle keys shall be handed over to the plaintiff’s lawyer and the vehicles shall be taken away.
Improved to the Great Apia Clock
The Minister of Trade, Commerce and Labour (MCIL) has confirmed that the restoration work on the Apia town bell has been completed. The work was done between July 29 and 31.
Timothy Tracey’s Australian company, Tower Clock Services, carried out the work and Mr Tracey was uniquely qualified to maintain and improve the government’s capital assets.
The clock is one of the great assets of the state and the government and has been repaired several times in order to continue to serve.
In a public statement by MCIL, it was mentioned that repair work was carried out on the clock, such as replacing the old ‘antenna’, carpentry work on the legs of the clock to make the time accurate, and inspection and analysis of every part of the clock.
Additionally, Tracy taught others to continue to care for the clock so it can continue to serve the nation.
Mr Pulotu Lyndon Chu Ling, Director of MCIL, expressed his gratitude to Tracey and her service, thanking her for not taking good care of and protecting the national heritage.
