Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Chief Justice Rizine Mzikamanda has denied a request by Matindi Private Academy owner Elvis Nserebo to stop the Commercial Court from assessing damages after Nserebo evicted Maranatha Boys Academy from his school premises in 2021.<\/p>\n

On August 13, 2021 Nserebo sent sheriffs to evict Maranatha Boys Academy from his school buildings in Blantyre for allegedly failing to settle rentals.<\/p>\n

Following the development, the High Court ruled in favour of Maranatha Boys Academy and ordered Nserebo to pay for damages caused on his counterpart.<\/p>\n

Maranatha Boys Academy made a K1.7 billion claim for loss of business which Nserebo challenged through court adding that he cannot manage to raise such amount of money.<\/p>\n

But in his response dated October 11 2023, the Chief Justice, Mzikamanda said the matter cannot be dealt with administratively, but through a court process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn case of a final judgement or decision of the court, the person who is dissatisfied would make an appeal to a higher court for the perceived error to be corrected,\u201d reads part of the response to Nserebo.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the court has set October 17 2023 as the date when it is expected to make an assessment of the damages Nserebo caused.<\/p>\n
