Nigerian Court of Appeal Reverses $5M Damages Award in Employment Contract Interference Case

The Court of Appeal in Nigeria set aside a High Court's decision to award $5 million in exemplary damages to Q Oil & Gas Services against Renco Nigeria Limited for unlawfully interfering with employment contracts. The case involved a dispute where Q Oil had accused Renco of interfering with its former employees.

The Court of Appeal ruled that Q Oil failed to provide sufficient evidence of unlawful interference, leading to the reversal of the damages awarded by the High Court.
