BMC wins against feedlot company

Tuesday, August 01, 2017

Feedlot owners, Northern Ranching has lost an appeal with costs against Botswana Meat Commission (BMC), which sought the latter to pay over P7 million for failing to honour contractual obligations.

The company also failed in its bid to overturn the Francistown High Court judgement, which ordered it to repay the P650,000 advance loan it received from BMC on December 24, 2010.

The appeal followed an application by Northern Ranching at the High Court in which it claimed damages of P7,720,934 representing profit it would allegedly have made if BMC complied with its obligations under their contract.
