comments     Beh Lih Yi     Published     Updated

The Kuantan High Court will next Friday decide on an application filed by Umno Pahang to set aside an earlier judgment ordering it to pay compensation to a company over a controversial logging concession in the state.

On July 13, the court ordered the party to pay RM70,000 to Seruan Gemilang Makmur (SGM) which had failed to renew its logging licence, as promised by Umno Pahang.

The company, which accused Umno Pahang of breaching their contract, had claimed RM31 million in damages. It has also filed an appeal against the relatively low damage awarded.
