IMPERIAL Pacific International LLC, IPI Holdings Ltd. and IPI chairwoman Cui Li Jie are in contempt of court for violating the previously entered consent judgment, and not paying current IPI employees for over two months, District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona ruled on Thursday.
She issued a one-week stop work order at IPIâs hotel-casino construction site in Garapan, but excluded administrative and security personnel from the order.
The administrative personnel will process the payroll for IPI employees, while the security personnel will secure the construction site.
Cui Li Jie, through an interpreter, told the court that the payroll funds were arriving from Guam Thursday, and that utilities would be immediately restored at IPIâs staff housing units.
