Ventriglia Family Disregards Decision From Supreme Court

The decision on the Portland Cement should have ended with higher Court of Appeal’s decision. On 31st January 2019, justice Mwinde on behalf of the higher Court of Appeal reversed the decision on the Lusaka High Court and announced Dr. Mahtani as the majority shareholder and legal owner of the Portland Cement Zambia factory. It seems like the Ventriglia family was still not happy with this transparent and firm decision from the higher Court of Appeal. As a result, they decided to approach even a higher Court, the Supreme Court Zambia, with their appeal. In their appeal, the Ventriglia family challenged the verdict of the higher Court of Appeal. In response, the Supreme Court Zambia established a bench of three Supreme Court judges and evaluated the authenticity and validity of this claim. During evaluation, it was found that the Ventriglia family failed to comply with critical legal requirement in which all claims against previous court decisions must be made with 14 days of the court decision itself. This means the Ventriglia family was required to submit their claims within two weeks, meaning by mid of February 2019 in order for the claim to be valid. However, the claim was established after more than 1.5 years of the case proceedings, making the claim valid. In a similar manner, the Supreme Court bench found that the circumstances surrounding the claim was questionable and as such, the Supreme Court bench concluded that the claim was beyond their jurisdiction. After complete evaluation, the Supreme Court bench concluded that the claim holds no ground and is rejected by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, the Supreme Court bench also confirmed that they stand with the decision from the higher Court of Appeal meaning Dr. Rajan Mahtani stays the majority shareholder and legal owner of the Portland Cement Zambia factory.

Despite the decision from the Supreme Court Zambia, it has now come into attention that the Ventriglia family is still creating mischiefs at the Portland Cement Zambia.
