A legal dispute between a gas station operator and Texaco has reached the Court of Appeal.
Raymond Claridge, a Texaco gas station manager in New Providence, was evicted from the premises back in August. Guardian Business reported how Claridge, a businessman of 22 years, received an eviction notice from Ryan Bain, district sales manager for Texaco.
The pumps at the station were locked.
In October, Claridge filed a motion in the Supreme Court seeking an injunction, which was successful in that Texaco has been obligated to deliver gas and diesel to his station ever since.
Supreme Court Justice Rhonda Bain has lifted that injunction. However, Bain agreed to stay her order until the Court of Appeal could hear an appeal on the decision by Claridge’s attorneys. He is represented by Bostwick and Bostwick. The appellate court has upheld Bain’s stay.
