Eden Tanzania Limited has been ordered to pay Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) Sh606.7 million. This is for breach of contract and undersupply of pallets.
The beer firm filed a suit against Eden in December 2020. This in which it sought a declaration that the firm was in breach of agreement for supply of wooden pallets. It had also sought an order compelling it to pay Sh300 million for the advance payment that was made mistakenly.
TBL wanted Eden to pay Sh306.6 million as outstanding balance of advance payment for the unsupplied new wooden pallets.
Upon being summoned to appear in court to enter defence, Eden disputed the claims and instead accused TBL of breach of the supply agreement by unilaterally cancelling orders without prior notice.
Simultaneously, the company raised a counter claim against TBL praying for payment of Sh125 million, payment for breach of contract and loss of business caused by the alleged breach by TBL.
