Court dismisses appeal by MCST over liability in construction worker’s accident

Mr. Janaed was a construction worker who became paralysed after falling 3.7 metres at a worksite in 2018. The Appellate Division of the High Court has now dismissed the appeal by Westgate Tower’s subsidiary management corporation (MCST) over its joint 70% liability with subcontractor STA Rita Engineering Services for the negligence that caused the mishap. Mr. Janaed’s formal employers, Newtec Engineering, as well as the subcontractor, STA Rita Engineering Services, are both uninsured parties.

Mr. Janaed, represented by Hoh Law Corporation, was grateful that MCST’s appeal had been successfully resisted, allowing the assessment of damages jointly payable by the two Defendants to proceed.
