Dispute between Musgrave and systems provider admitted to fast track list
2016-10-24
Hearing Or Decision
Summary
In a dispute over a contract to supply a new electronic point‑of‑sale system, Wincor Nixdorf Ltd and Musgrave Retail Partners Ltd have been admitted to the fast‑track Commercial Court list. Wincor was commissioned in early 2014 to deliver the system and entered a master agreement with Musgrave in December 2014. During the project, Wincor alleges that Musgrave repeatedly breached the contract, stymying and obstructing delivery of the system and preventing it from meeting agreed milestones. In June, Musgrave allegedly terminated all agreements with Wincor without warning, a termination Wincor claims was wrongful, defective and void, causing serious harm and loss. Wincor says €1 million remains unpaid and estimates total losses from the breach, including hardware and software services, at about €10.4 million. The case was admitted by Mr Justice Brian McGovern, who suggested the parties consider mediation.
