State lawyers represented by Cllr. Moses Paegar, lead lawyer for the Alliance and Prestige Motors. The action of damage for wrong by businessman Haddad against the Government of Liberia was first filed at the Commercial Court in 2014. The case was first heard in 2015 by the Commercial Court where state lawyers filed a motion, and questioned whether the Commercial Court had the legal authority over the matter, which occurred between 2003 and 2008 when the court was established in 2011. Commercial Court Judge Morgan denied the state lawyers’ motion on ground that the court was established for all cases arising from commercial transactions.
