"If GO get their way, all their services will GO our homes"

Indeed I will be doing that too!

Section 811 of the Code or Organisation and Civil Procedure permits a retrial only in a very small number of instances.
A mistake in your arithmetic is not one of them.

Nonsense! Let the courts decides. This is a legal matter.

These are men in their 70s and 80s who have been going up to court for several years only to hear 'case postponed' time and time again.. A true travesty of justice. As Mr Tabone says a due diligence was done and if GO did not do their homework, no one else is to blame but themselves. Does GO realise their credibility is at stake here? loss of customers? Shame on the company for trying to postpone once again a case that has been tried , a verdict reached, and an appeal lost by GO. A true sign of what justice is like in Malta.

Well said K. Abela. The story of this case goes back to 1974 when telemalta was still a Goverment owned entity! Why should current owners/shareholders be liable for such a mess?

@.Abela
Because just like a normal heir who inherits his inheritance and it is said that s/he steps into the shoes of the deceased, when a company takes over it similarly steps in the shoe of the previous company and assumes both credits and debits Mr Abela.

To K. Abela,
When a company is bought, a proper due diligence is required. One has to have a look at how the purchase was carried out, and its terms to be sure. But when one buys a company with its underlying assets and liabilities (which is sometimes the case), this also refers to any liability which was incurred but was not identified and reported at the time of purchase.

Therefore just like GO is benefitting from the assets that were bought, it should also incur the liabilities that were "bought", if this was the case.

Why is the shame on GO? The shame should be on the Government who at that time controlled GO. Why should the new owners and abused shareholders be liable for a problem that should have been handled by the Government when the company was still Cable and Wireless??

Should justice depend on the cost of the judgement ?

Go should be ashamed of themselves for prolonging the suffering of these employees who have been fighting this case for years.
Go is just waiting for them to die one at a time before justice is finally done??
Shame on you. Disgusting company.
