Legal termination possible but :: Mmegi Online

Our legal expert MOTHEO MOMPATI* looks at the contract signed between Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) and Israeli arms company, Dignia Systems and argues that it is doubtful if a legally tenable case for suspension is made on the letter written by DIS Director General Peter Magosi

It seems indelicate to suggest that the Government of Botswana (GoB) has terminated its contract with Dignia Systems Pty Ltd (the contractor). The GoB seems to be pleading inability to discharge its obligations in terms of the contract. As a result of the inability to perform, GoB has sought to suspend all its obligations under the contract.

The contract itself provides for instances where a party who is unable to perform under the contract may be relieved from the terms of the contract for the time that the non-performance subsists.
