Case 2: Ministry of Sports
The Ministry of Sports will host the horse racing event on lath, 11th and 12th September 2018 in Muscat. As the horse racing would attract more crowds than usual, the Ministry of Sports contracted with Mabela Builders for them to build a new car park close to the horse race stadium where the horse racing will be performed. The new car park was to be completed by 8th September 2018. A deposit of IRO 600,000 is payable by the Ministry of Sports before 8th June 2018 and the balance of 100,000 is payable on 8th September 201 B, Also, the Ministry of Sports decided that the seats in the horse racing stands need renewing before the horse racing take place. They therefore contracted with Seeb Seating Company for them to replace all the seats in stands A and B before the 8th September for a total cost of RO 300,000.
Seeb Seating Company underestimated how long it would take them to replace all the seats and when they left the job on 8th September, a number of the seats had been poorly fitted. Seeb Seating Company is claiming the full RO 300,000 from the Ministry of Sports. During the inspection of the horse racing stands, one of the auditors of the Ministry of Sports, Mr. Abdullah, slipped down from the seat while trying to sit down in one of the newly constructed stands by Seeb Seating Company. He was rushed to the Royal Hospital and he was diagnosed with spinal dis-alignment. The doctors conducted intensive operation and he stayed in the hospital for 3 months medication.
During 2nd, 3rd and 4th September 2018, Muscat suffered from exceptionally heavy rain. The area where work was underway on the new car park was entirely submerged by water and most of what had been done was washed away by the flood. The area is no longer suitable for any development.
Mabela Builders are claiming the balance of the monies they say are due. They say that their labour costs for installing the new car park and improving the access road amount to RO B00,000 and they wish to recover from the Ministry of Sports.
