High Court revokes suspension of Phoenix Botswana

In an order granted last Friday, Justice Leatile  Dambe set aside NBFIRA’s  July 06 decision to freeze Phoenix’s business, allowing the general insurance company to continue writing new business, but only on condition that all transactions are approved by the regulator.

‘It is ordered  that the operation of notice of temporary closure is hereby suspended until  5th of September, 2017 on condition that  Phoenix shall notify the regulator when new business is made. All transactions out of the business accounts  of the  company  shall  be subject to approval  by the NBFIRA,” reads the order, which was granted after Phoenix challenged NBFIRA’s  ban.
