Waye-Hive & Ors v AG representing Seychelles Licensing Authority (CS 48/2019) [2021] SCSC 1017 (18 October 2021)

The plaintiffs failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that any faute was committed by the employees of the Seychelles Licensing Authority. The SLA was justified in granting a license for only 6 rooms as only 6 rooms had valid planning approval and occupancy certificates. The previous license for 10 rooms issued to CDI was a result of a mistake and could not be relied upon by the plaintiffs. No vicarious liability of the SLA was established.
