It all depends on the contract they signed.<br /><br />So if their revenue stream is not insured OR assured, and their leases are non negotiable, then whatever terms are in the lease when they fall behind must apply.<br /><br />It is just the business is done. <br /><br />Insurance is the only back up if it available and taken.<br /><br />It is ripe for a new company to take over these equipment from the leasing companies at a discount, as the leasing companies will otherwise just lose value by parking them in open spaces left to the elements to rot in 6 months.<br /><br />What a waste of the Country's imported items!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167149547535484177.post-5899252658554016982015-03-18T08:25:32.339+05:302015-03-18T08:25:32.339+05:30Dance with the devil and you will get burned.

I don't believe for a second that these subcontractors who were all part of a corrupt ponzi scheme with the people as the ultimate losers voted for good governance. Let them eat cake. Too many former subcontractors on former mega projects (read mahaweli) now rule the roost boasting billions in wealth which the state will not touch. At least don't let this new round of fraudster aspirants rise. If the government allows them in, be prepared to face the consequences from the people!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
