Former LPG Imports Vs G.O.B.

Audrey Matura

The license of the three importers expired months ago and there was no possibility to renew or extend.  Their position is that the government’s move to box them out is illegal and unconstitutional and that case is before the courts. Attorney Audrey Matura is challenging the government’s decision in the courts. According to Matura submissions are still being filed.

Audrey Matura, Attorney

“It sounds bad but we have never gotten a written decision. Forty-two days have passed so the one place you can turn to that you should be able to get quick answers is not there. That is a reality we have to deal with. The second thing with the case itself, we have been given a date when we were to give in our legal submission which we have done on the constitutional case. The government was to respond last week Friday. They have not responded. We wrote a letter to the registrar pointing out that they failed to meet their deadline. We had failed initially to meet our deadline but we had written and ask for an extension and we said that because you gave us six days extension they are entitled to six days. So they were to filed on the fourth of June. They had up to the twelve of June to file and thereafter we were to respond. Up to today we have not gotten their submission. After they send in their submission then we have five days within which to reply to that if there is any need. At some point, the court will give us a response. That is where we are with that case.”
