Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>In a dramatic turn of events, the Khomas regional council emerged victorious in a case where it was being sued by a car rental company for failure to pay N$3.6 million for leasing 21 vehicles in 2019.<\/p>\n

High Court Judge Hannelie Prinsloo on Friday concluded despite Olivetti Car Rentals instituting a lawsuit against the Khomas regional council for non-payment, they failed to honour the terms of the contract when they did not deliver the vehicles as required.<\/p>\n

Before dismissing Olivetti\u2019s claim of N$3.6 million, Prinsloo said the regional council is entitled to payments of liquidated damages.<\/p>\n

As per the agreement, Olivetti would pay N$78 682.20 or N$314 728.80 for liquidated damages if they fail to deliver the vehicles.<\/p>\n

The agreement stipulated that Olivetti would lease eight sedans, two 4×4 single-cab pickups with fitted canopies, two 4×4 single-cab pickups fitted with rails, four 4×4 double-cab pickups fitted with canopies, and two 16 seaters Quantum mini-buses.<\/p>\n

The list also included one 22-seater bus, one-panel van and one 4-5 tonne Hino truck.<\/p>\n

The regional council was to pay N$224 063 per month for renting all the vehicles.<\/p>\n

The car rental company was supposed to deliver the vehicles within 60 days, starting from 1 April 2019.<\/p>\n

The vehicles were to be leased on a short-term basis of 37 days.<\/p>\n

The regional council claimed Olivetti failed to deliver all the vehicles \u2013 and after many enquiries, they decided to terminate the contract on 31 May 2019.<\/p>\n

They claim the car rental company only delivered three vehicles.<\/p>\n

Olivetti in their suit claimed due to the regional council terminating the contract, they suffered financial losses to the tune of N$3.6 million.<\/p>\n

They claimed they meet all their contractual obligations, and there was no reason for the regional council to cancel the contract.<\/p>\n

Wilhelm Amukoto represented the regional council, while Eino Nangolo was on record for Olivetti.<\/p>\n
