AI SUMMARY
The Cassation Bench of the Tigray Regional Supreme Court has suspended a 12 million Birr wartime salt procurement lawsuit between the regional trade agency and an investor.
- The Cassation Bench of the Tigray Regional Supreme Court suspended the 12 million Birr lawsuit on September 8.
- The legal dispute involves the Tigray Regional Trade and Industry Agency and investor Tesfakiros Atsbeha.
- The investor filed the lawsuit after the agency withheld 600 quintals of salt, worth 12 million Birr, which he had sourced from the Afar region during the war to alleviate local shortages.
- The agency claimed that the legal documentation provided by the investor for the salt delivery was invalid.
- The agency sought to suspend the lawsuit by citing a 2024/25 temporary directive that prohibits payment claims against temporary administration offices.
- The Cassation Bench reversed earlier decisions by the High Court and the Supreme Court's appellate bench, ruling that they committed legal interpretation errors by contradicting the temporary administration's directive.
