The contempt order against IPI and Cui Li Jie and decision to stop work was issued by the US District Court for the NMI.
The move came as the court sought to ensure the exclusive Saipan casino licensee complied with sanctions, which included paying the last few months of payroll totaling over $US3 million, restoring power and water to employee housing, and providing food to employees in the units.
Exempted from the stop-work order are administrative employees in charge of processing payroll and property security.
IPI and Cui have been called to return to court on 28 January for a status conference to determine if the company has complied and whether or not to lift the order.
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.
