Tonga Communications Corporation

Rizvi Jurangpathy's contract with the state-owned telecommunications aompany TCC was terminated in April of 2017.

The Court awarded Mr Jurangpathy $US70,000 for damages and loss of income.

The Lord Chief Justice M H Whitten said the corporation failed to act fairly or reasonably towards Mr Jurangpathy before making their decision.

The trial exposed serious incompetency by the TCC Board, and in particular a subcommittee assigned to carry out an investigation into allegations against Mr Jurangpathy.
