A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, yesterday, adjourned till December 20, 2006 further hearing in the suit by X.M. Federal, an International Arms Company, in which the company had sued Shell Petroleum Development Company, over the termination of its contract to supply arms to the oil company.
Counsel to the plaintiffs in the matter, Tete Adam, told the court at the resumed hearing of the matter that in view of the processes served on him by the defendant, the plaintiffs will need to amend their statement of claim. According to him, “After a proper study of the further statement of defence that the court granted leave to amend, we felt that it will be better for us (plaintiffs) to amend our statement of claim, so what we don’t start amending it mid-way into the hearing of the matter”.
The presiding judge, Justice Abdulahi Mustapha however, noted that in view of the fact that the defendant may at the next adjourned date, say it need to reply to whatever is filed, that it would be better if the matter is adjourned for mention. read more
