The Grand Hotel Excelsior is still chasing almost €8,000 it is allegedly owed by the organisers of the 2010 Rod Stewart concert.

A Court of Appeal yesterday overturned a lower court decision that the case was time barred.

The case had been filed by the hotel against Raymond Steer Chetham, Jane Steer Chetham, Paul Degaetano, Josienne Degaetano, Jennifer Farrugia and Eugenio Farrugia, in their capacity as partners in RS and Partners, as well as against Roy Steer, as manager. The hotel requested payment of €7,762.40 for services provided for the concert that was held in August 2010.

Overturning the lower court’s decision, the Appeals Court, presided over by Madam Justice Edwina Grima, said the action did not fall within the legal definition of time barring because the case was not about a service to individuals but about a commercial deal that was not restricted to accommodation but included other elements such as sponsorship.

The case, therefore, should return to the Civil Court for the case to be heard and decided.
