Lawyer Ousainou Darboe yesterday testified before Magistrate Pa Harry
Jammeh of the Kanifing Magistrates’ Court in an ongoing case to decide
the ownership of Lama Lama Bar and Restaurant.
In his testimony, Mr Darboe affirmed that he knew both the
defendant, Mamadi Keita, and the plaintiff, a Briton named Brian Peters
who earlier filed a lawsuit against the defendant for allegedly
claiming shares unlawfully in the partnership deed of Lama Lama Bar and
Restaurant.
According to Mr. Darboe, his friend, Dr. Boro Suso, once
called him to request for his advice on business partnership involving
Lama Lama Bar & Restaurant. He further said that Mamadi Baba Keita,
Brian Peters and Susan Brown visited him at his house at number 57
Kairaba Avenue to inform him on the nature of the problem in a bid to
seek his advice on partnership registration. However, Mr. Darboe
continued, neither of the litigants had the deed. “I later told them I
cannot give any advice until I see the partnership deed,” Mr. Darboe
explained.
He said that after their conversation at his house “The only
other time I saw him in my chambers is when he personally came with a
motion to renew the partnership between Mr. Mamadi Baba Keita and Brian
Peters.”
Under cross examination, Mr. Darboe said the visit of Mr. Peters was to
change the deed between him and Mr. Mamadi Baba Keita, Susan Brown and
was also seeking legal consultation on the issue. He further said that
he could only give advice on the creation of new partnership but not on
the same business, as it will result to conflict.
