BusinessOct 8PL sues company over €50,971 paid for undelivered commemorative coinsThe Labour Party has filed a lawsuit against Malta Precious Metals Refinery Limited and one of its representatives, seeking the recovery of €50,971 allegedly paid for commemorative coins that were never delivered. The case was filed before the First Hall of the Civil Court by the Labour Party, represented by its CEO, against the Marsa-based company and its representative, Daniel Azzopardi, both personally and in his capacity as a company official. According to the court application, the Labour Party entered into an agreement with the company for the design, manufacture and supply of three designs of commemorative coins to mark a 30th anniversary. The order also included production tools, presentation boxes and other materials. The party claims it paid the company a total of €50,971 but the agreed products and materials were never delivered, despite the payment having been made. Following several communications with the company, the Labour Party requested the cancellation of the order and a full refund of the amount paid. On 10 August 2026, the party sent a formal legal letter demanding repayment of the €50,971 within ten days. However, according to the application, the company failed to return any of the money, despite subsequent communications and assurances that the payment would be made. The Labour Party maintains that the agreement has since been terminated or cancelled, meaning the company is obliged to reimburse the full amount. In a sworn declaration accompanying the application, the party's chief executive officer stated that the sum being claimed was not an estimate or provisional amount, but the exact amount paid to the company for the order. He argued that the debt was certain, liquidated and due, as the products had not been delivered and the deadline for repayment had expired. The party is also seeking to hold the company's representative personally liable, arguing that he dealt directly with its officials throughout the transaction, including discussions concerning the order, payment and subsequent refund. However, the application specifies that his personal liability would depend on whether evidence establishes that he personally assumed the obligations, acted beyond his authority or made representations that could render him personally responsible. The Labour Party has requested that the court hear the case under the special summary procedure. This procedure allows the court to deliver judgment without proceeding to a full trial if the defendant fails to establish a prima facie defence. In his sworn declaration, the party's chief executive officer maintained that, to the best of his knowledge, the company had no valid defence against the claim for repayment. The party is asking the court to declare the company indebted to it for €50,971 and order it to repay the amount in full. It is also requesting that the company's representative be held jointly liable for the payment if his personal responsibility is established. The Labour Party is additionally seeking legal interest on the outstanding amount, together with all legal costs incurred, including those relating to previous formal demands for repayment. The court application was filed through the Labour Party's lawyer Ramona Attard.independent_mt · malta
