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 EFCL chief executive Phillip Knaggs registered an appearance in the case but failed to file a defence.
