The hearing of a five-million-tala lawsuit, brought by the former General Manager of the Samoa National Provident Fund, Papali’i Panoa Moala, against the Samoa Land Corporation (S.L.C) has been adjourned until 3 November.
The matter was before the Chief Justice, His Honour Patu Tiava’asu’e Falefatu Sapolu yesterday where he made the adjournment.
Despite two prior adjournments, when the matter was called yesterday, the Attorney General’s Office, representing S.L.C, was not ready to proceed.

So the decision was made by the Chief Justice to allow this one final adjournment.
The lawsuit is brought by Papali’i as the owner of Farm Supplies, as a result of the failed partnership deal between the two parties. The company is the retirement venture of the former S.N.P.F boss.
According to Court documents, the plaintiff had “lost forecast revenue” because the joint venture between the two parties did not go through.
The first Plaintiff is the Farm Technical Ltd Company operating from Apia and the second plaintiff is the Farm Suppliers Ltd operating from Nu’u.
The second plaintiff is a shareholder of the first plaintiff and both companies are owned by Papali’i.
According to Court documents, a statement of claim for $5,305,479.00 has been lodged by the plaintiffs.
