Dispute Points and Legal Basis
Dispute Points
- MYG's Position:
- Claims GAG failed to honor the Nomination Deed’s obligations by not consenting to a proposed new settlement date (24 November 2023). - Argues that the Breach Notice issued by GAG was based on the incorrect belief that the settlement date was 24 November 2021 and thus ineffective. - Contingent claim against Nevas for restitution concerning payments made under the Variation Deed.
- GAG's Position:
- Assertions made through the Breach Notice and Recission Notice claim that MYG did not provide evidence of its ability to settle by the stipulated date (10 October 2021). - Claims MYG's failure to meet this obligation amounts to a breach of the Nomination Deed, warranting the Recission Notice.
