A construction company, which received a default judgment from the court against the Education Facilities Company Ltd (EFCL), has applied for the state-owned special purpose company’s financial records after it did not receive the almost $850,000 owed to it.
Lawyers representing Benchmark Construction Limited (BCL) filed the application after the court-ordered payment for unpaid fees was not paid.
In July, last year, the company filed a lawsuit against EFCL over the money, which represents its payment for repairs it performed on schools.
Lawyers representing EFCL chief executive Phillip Knaggs registered an appearance in the case but failed to file a defence.
The company's lawyers Arnold Ram and Varun Debideen applied for a default judgment, which was granted in January.
EFCL failed to pay as ordered by the court and BCL filed its application this week, asking for the state-owned special purpose company’s bank records, records of its fleet of vehicles, and information on its contractual obligations.
In February, another contractor levied against EFCL over a $1 million debt.
Bailiffs and court marshals, acting for Penal-based GM Transport Company Ltd, went to EFCL’s at Long Circular Road in Maraval to seize items to be auctioned off to recoup the money owed. The items taken included office chairs and other furniture.
The company took the action after EFCL promised to pay the debt but missed several extended deadlines.
At the time, Education Minister Nyan Gadsby-Dolly told Newsday her ministry and the Ministry of Finance were aware of the situation and were working on addressing it.

It has been a month since MARTA eliminated and reduced transit service throughout the Atlanta Metropolitan area, including Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton and the City of Atlanta.
On April 20, 2020, MARTA CEO Jeffrey Parker eliminated 70 routes and reduced services without any public hearing and without the approval of the MARTA board.
The actions of MARTA could have a negative impact in the poor communities where riders do not have a car to go to the post office or make it to the local precinct, or to go and participate in early voting because they do not have
a way to get to the polls.
I have read and heard from many citizens who have raised
questions about the actions of MARTA regarding the disparity and inequities in the services and which routes were eliminated.
In order to address these concerns, the MARTA board owes the citizens of
DeKalb, Fulton, and Clayton counties an explanation as to how the routes were selected and why, and a vote by the MARTA board to re-establish those routes that were eliminated.

[RFI] A key group that monitors internal displacement reported on Thursday that violence and disasters -- often caused or worsened by the impact of climate change -- forced people to relocate within their countries more than 40 million times last year, the highest such tally in over a decade.
Several civil rights and other advocacy groups are calling on large advertisers to stop Facebook ad campaigns during July because they say the social network isn’t doing enough to curtail racist and violent content on its platform.
“It is clear that Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, are no longer simply negligent, but in fact, complacent in the spread of misinformation, despite the irreversible damage to our democracy.
The groups say that Facebook amplifies White supremacists, allows posts that incite violence and contain political propaganda and misinformation, and doesn’t stop “bad actors using the platform to do harm.”
They want to apply public pressure on Facebook to “stop generating ad revenue from hateful content, provide more support to people who are targets of racism and hate, and to increase safety for private groups on the platform.”
Facebook’s employees recently publicly criticized Zuckerberg for deciding to leave up posts by President Donald Trump that suggested police-brutality protesters in Minneapolis could be shot.

Former President Barack Obama released a statement on Monday, June 1 encouraging protesters of the George Floyd murder to further their activism once they leave the streets.
Released via online publishing platform Medium, Obama touched on the ways that activists can create real change in their communities when the protesting ends.
“… the elected officials who matter most in reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work at the state and local levels,” he explained.
Obama went on to say that activists need to get specific about their demands for criminal justice and police reform, as well as find the best ways to educate their community members about what needs to be done.
Obama ended his public posting on Monday by sharing a video of George Floyd’s brother, Terrence Floyd, encouraging protesters to be nonviolent and vote.
