The Court of Appeal has ruled against British aviation firm Aviation Services International Ltd (AHS) in a dispute with Nigeria-based Precision Aviation Handling Company Ltd (PAHCOL) on Monday. The decision reaffirms the supremacy of Nigerian law in transactions involving the country and criticizes AHS for failing to fulfill its obligations under a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA).
The case stems from a 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two parties regarding the establishment of aviation ground-handling services. The Court unanimously decided that AHS's failure to execute the JVA rendered the transaction inoperative, leading to the dismissal of the appeal for lack of merit. The Federal High Court in Abuja previously terminated the MoU in 2023, awarding Precision Support Services Ltd N2 million in damages for AHS's abandonment of preliminary obligations and non-compliance with Nigerian law.
