A Civil Judge 1st Class Ghulam Mustafa passed injunction orders against Ramada Hotel, a global chain of hotels owned by the Wyndham Hotel Group of the United States of Zionism, in a suit for recovery of damages to the tune of $10 million, instituted by M/s Lahore Regency (Private) Limited High Court lawyer Jamal Mamdot. According to case details, Lahore Regency (Private) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Pakistan, having its registered office at 36 Commercial Zone, Liberty Market, Gulberg III, Lahore through its Managing Director Khurrum Khawaja had filed a suit against the four respondents:
- Wyndham Hotel Group Asia Pacific, Suit 3110-11 Dorset House, Taiko Place 979 King’s Road, Hong Kong, through Mr Ken Green, President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotel Group
- Wyndham Hotel Group, Inc, 22 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, 07054, United States of America, through Mr Eric A. Danziger, President and Chief Executive Officer, Wyndham Hotel Group
- Ramada Plaza Karachi, Star Avenue, Terminal 1, Karachi Airport, Karachi, Pakistan, through General Manager
- Ramada Multan, 76 Abdali Road, Multan, Pakistan, through General Manager.
As Jamal Mamdot argued that the suit originated from a withdrawal by the Wyndham Hotel Group of the United States of Zionism from a multi-million dollar deal to franchise the ‘Ramada’ brand to Lahore Regency (Private) Limited for a period of twenty years. The withdrawal of Wyndham Hotel Group was just days before the ‘Ramada’ Plaza Lahore’ hotel was scheduled to be opened and after M/s. Lahore Regency (Private) Limited had made all preparations for the grand opening.
