Civil Court denies injunction on Afcons fine delay

Civil Court has denied an interim injunction on the delay of the MVR 69 million fine levied on Afcons Infrastructure.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fined the Thilamale' Bridge contractor after one of its surveyor platforms crashed atop, and damaged, a significant portion of Vilimale' house reef. EPA's decision was upheld by the Ministry of Environment as well as the government, which on November 15, issued an order for the contractor to pay the fine within 15 days from the date of the announcement.
