The Supreme Administrative Court on Wednesday did not accept a petition lodged by the Transport Ministry asking for an injunction against the court s order for the state to pay compensation to the private contractor for cancelling the Hopewell elevated train project.
The court said the previous ruling was to be upheld.
In November, 2007 the court ruled the Ministry of Transport and State Railway Authority had to pay compensation to Hopewell (Thailand) and in April 2019, the court ruled the ministry and SRT must pay compensation of 11.8 billion baht plus an accrued interest rate of 7.5% to the company.
