Transport Minister to continue fight against Hopewell compensation award

 

 

While accepting the decision of Thailand’s Supreme Administrative Court, ordering the Transport Ministry and State Railway of Thailand (SRT) to pay 24 billion baht in compensation to Hopewell Thailand, Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob announced today (Thursday) that the Ministry will fight on, with another case still pending in the Central Administrative Court.

 

The Supreme Administrative Court on Wednesday upheld the Central Administrative Court’s decision to reject the retrial petition, in the legal conflict between the Transport Ministry and the SRT on one side and Hopewell Thailand on the other. The case results from an arbitration panel’s order that the Thai state pay compensation for the cancellation of the 80 billion baht elevated rail and highway project.

 

Mr. Saksayam said that, in the latest court case, filed in the Central Administrative Court on June 17th, the Transport Ministry and the SRT are questioning the legality of Hopewell Thailand’s registration.

I suppose the policy of keep appealing until you can put in the right judge will work eventually

[Odysseus123]

Unbelievable....the gov't will just keep on going until the judiciary gets it right-presumably after the next and even more militaristic/authoritarian coup.

Gordon Wu is an upstanding man.   He actual cared about the young people of Hong Kong.  If somebody like him has this much trouble in Thailand, why would anyone invest there ?

When the clowns get the verdict they want, not before.

Time the supreme court put a stop to this madness and tell them to pay out or go to jail !

If the registration was not legal the why did they sign a contract with them?

Exactly what they're attempting.....

[Bender Rodriguez]

just like red bull killer... wait long enough to make it go away

[natway09]

Give it up.  It can be proved (if records have been kept) that the SRT tried to bribe Hopewell

into charging "air rights" years after the contract was signed & certified.

Hopewell decided to walk away rather than being continually "sucked"
