Cheaitou Bros Company Goes To Debt Court

By Yassah J. Wright

The Global Company, based in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, has filed another lawsuit against Cheaitou Brothers Incorporated.

The Company owes Mr. Houssein Cheaitou, Consul-General for Colombia an outstanding debt of US$10, 692.06, including legal interest of six percent representing the aggregate accrued unpaid, outstanding and delinquent late payments invoices.

 The case has now entered Debt Court at the Temple of Justice in Monrovia.

The lawsuit stemmed from unpaid invoices for 135,500 kilograms of 50,000 kilograms of  frozen chicken drumsticks valued at US$92,000, 57,000kg of frozen heavy hen carcass valued at US$38, 475 and 28,500 kg of  frozen buffalo lips valued at US$38,475 totaling US$10,692.60,  which Cheaitou allegedly refused to settle.

According to court documents, the plaintiff claims that the defendant owes the amount of US$10,692.60, plus a legal interest of six percent per annum.

Additionally, the plaintiff seeks the recovery of court costs, and any other relief deemed just and equitable by the court.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Ms Global Company by Attorney-in-Facts, Albert S. Sims and Moses Peagar of the Justice Advocates and Partners, Incorporated.

The court documents revealed that on separates date, including December 19, 2024, January 29, 2025, and February 6, 2025, Ms Global Company and Cheaitou Brothers Incorporated entered into a discussion concerning the supply of frozen chicken drumsticks, frozen heavy hen carcass and frozen buffalo lips.

According to the suit, on December 19, 2024, Plaintiff and Defendant executed contracts and sales order No. 3409YR2024 for the supply by Plaintiff to Defendant of 50,000Kg (Kilograms) of frozen chicken drumsticks for the total amount of US$92,000.

The suit alleges it transpired, however, that the actual quantity supplied, and for which defendant was issued Plaintiff’s Commercial Invoice No. 3409-2yr2025 was US$24,000 at a total cost of US$44,160.

It also alleges that an essential provision of the contract and sales order is as of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the vessel at the Freeport of Monrovia on July 25, 2025.

Accordingly, payment became due on September 8, 2025.

The amount due was US$42,480, instead of US$44,160 since plaintiff had issued the defendant a credit note, invoice No. 64 yr. 2025, dated July 21, 2025 for the amount of US$1,680.

Defendant did not pay the aforesaid Invoice until September 11, 2025 quite four days after the payment due date.

Consequently, Plaintiff, taking recourse to the terms of the contract and sale order, applied the late payment penalty of

US$849.60, issued a Penalty Invoice No. 80yr2025, but Defendant has failed, neglected, and refused to pay said amount up to and, including the time of the filing of the action.
