The High Court of Malawi Commercial Division has ordered TotalEnergies Marketing Malawi Limited to pay compensation to Prima Fuels and Malawi Government in fuel rebates for the period July 10 2013 to July 11 2019.
He observed that such intention constituted an anticipatory breach of the contract, but since the breach was not accepted by Prima Fuels, the anticipated violation was not enough to terminate the agreement.
The second claimant, Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Decentralisation was represented by Attorney General Frank Mbeta.
The Malawi Government is claiming K824 billion (about $480 million) for breach of contract.
Of the amount, $180 million relates to unpaid fuel rebates allegedly owed to the government while $300 million is claimed by Prima Fuels.
