Civil court has dismissed three lawsuits against Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) leader Ahmed Thasmeen Ali filed by three directors of the company Victorious Travels and Tours claiming compensation for the sale of Shaviyani Kabaalifaru resort.
The judge ruled that there were no legal grounds to hear the case in the absence of a legally binding agreement between the claimants and Thasmeen, reports Haveeru.
The three directors of the company claim that the resort was sold to Thasmeen by the fourth director, Ali Shareef, M. Anavilla, on the condition that proceeds from the sale would be handed over to the company.
While a portion of the amount had been paid, the claimants sought damages for the unpaid amount.
The 200-bed Kabaalifaru resort was awarded in 2006 for a rent of U$13.8 million over 10 years.
