Lawsuit abandoned as MP Toriq settles with Fuel Express out of court

Civil Court has made the decision to cancel the lawsuit against Mahibadhoo MP Ahmed Toriq by Fuel Express Maldives Private Limited for MVR 170,261.45 in payment owed by him for fuel he bought from the company.

Civil Court made the decision to cancel the lawsuit as it has been settled out of court.

Fuel Express Maldives pressed the lawsuit against the former national football star after failing to make payment for fuel he took from the company back in 2011.

Civil Court said last Thursday that the company had sent a letter to court saying that the payment had been made out of court. And that the court had therefore decided there was no point in going ahead with the trial anymore.
