ANDSON Monkhouse has, through Attorney-at-Law Mr. Lester Caesar, filed a writ in the Supreme Court Registry, claiming $4,500,000 as a sum unpaid through a breakdown in agreement.
In the case, expected to engage Bail Court on September 10, the plaintiff is the son-in-law of the defendant, Susan Velloza and he, sometimes, resides at 1803 Nereid Avenue, Bronx New York.
She hails from Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, Berbice.
On or around February 25, 2009, the defendant granted the plaintiff permission to construct a three-storey building, measuring 30 feet by 48 feet on the ground and first floor and 34 feet by 48 feet on the second floor, in accordance with a plan dated February 24, 2009, on plot of land owned by the defendant and situated at Lot 47 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, Berbice.
Monkhouse is contending that, during the year 2009, he spent a substantial sum to build up the entire plot of land and prepare the foundation work for the three-storey building and constructed columns and beams, way up to the second floor, as part of the initial work done to construct the said building.
He said he returned to the United States (U.S.) during the latter part of 2009 in order to source funding  to complete the house and on or around  July 3, 2012, Velloza, without notifying him, allowed his sister, Edris Lambie-Forte Babb, to use his plan to carry out construction upon the initial work.
Monkhouse said he agreed to accept $4,500,500 from Velloza for the work done but, despite repeated demands by him, the latter has  neglected, failed or refused to pay the said sum, which  remains due, owing and payable to him.
As a consequence, he is claiming the sum as owing and payable to him by the defendant.
