Tanzania LPG dealer loses Sh148m legal fee claim
Proto Energy’s Head of Legal Wambui Maina had opposed the review of the magistrate’s ruling. She contended that the claim for Sh148.7 million was grossly exaggerated, unjustifiable, and not commensurate with the nature or volume of work demonstrated.
Tanzania's cooking gas dealer, Lake Gas Limited, and its subsidiary Lake Oil Limited, have lost a bid to recover Sh148.7 million from their Kenyan rival, Proto Energy Limited, in the form of costs incurred in a legal dispute about business licenses.
The companies wanted Proto to pay them the amount as advocate fees but the High Court upheld the decision of Magistrate Christine Asuna Okello to award them a total of Sh968,282.
