Unlikely to recover ventilator compensation, but will exert every effort: AG Usham

Efforts are ongoing to lodge a case at Dubai's courts to claim the MVR 32 million due in compensation for Dubai’s Executors General Trading’s failure to provide ventilators for the treatment of critical Covid-19 patients according to the agreement with the former government.

The case regarding failing to comply with the agreement entered into on February 2, 2020 was submitted to Maldives International Arbitration Center last February. Maldives had sought compensation for the damages incurred as a result of Executor’s failure to provide the agreed ventilators, alongside reimbursement of funds for the unsupplied ventilators, which sums up to a total of USD 2 million (MVR 32 million).
