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.
