The now closed City Market food store chain has failed to meet its obligations to the Police Staff Association (PSA), according to lawyer Devard Francis.
It's been a year since Francis filed a suit against the company, alleging that it failed to pay the PSA more than $80,000 for providing security for its stores.
Francis said the contract between the PSA and City Market was negotiated by the company's director of security Stephen Seymour.
Seymour, who resigned from the force as a superintendent to take the position, returned to the organization as an assistant commissioner in charge of operations.
Francis said, "At the time, they were open 24 hours. So we had officers working 12 hour shifts and they have yet to be compensated."
According to a writ filed last January, the PSA was hired to secure its five stores in New Providence and three stores in Grand Bahama.
The writ said that the PSA lived up to the terms of the contract by securing the New Providence stores from September 1 to October 25, 2011 for the sum of $46,400.00 and its Grand Bahama stores from August 25 to October 25, 2011 for the sum of $34,921.50 for a total of $81,321.50. The stores closed down after the writ was filed.
Francis said he is scheduled to appear before Chief Justice Sir Michael Barnett for a status hearing on January 19.
