Firm sues Twitter for not paying bills for work done in four countries – Times of India
SYDNEY: An Australian project management firm has filed a lawsuit against Twitter in a US court seeking cumulative payments of about A$1 million ($665,000) over alleged non-payment of bills for work done in four countries. Sydney-based private company Facilitate Corp on June 29 filed the suit in a US district court in California claiming breach of contract over Twitter’s failure to pay its invoices.
The Australian firm’s lawsuit is the latest alleging non-payment of bills and rent against Twitter since Elon Musk bought the social media platform for $44 billion last year.
Facilitate said from 2022 through early 2023, it installed sensors in Twitter’s offices in London and Dublin, completed an office fit-out in Singapore, and cleared an office in Sydney. For those works, Twitter owed the firm about 203,000, S$546,600 and A$61,300, respectively, Facilitate said. Facilitate said it was seeking compensatory damages, legal costs and interest at the maximum legal rate.
In May, a former public relations firm filed a suit in a New York court saying Twitter had not paid its bills, while early this year US advisory firm Innisfree M&A Inc sued it, seeking about $1.9 million for what it said were unpaid bills after it advised Twitter on its acquisition by Musk. Britain’s Crown Estate, an independent commercial business, in January began court proceedings over alleged unpaid rent on Twitter’s London headquarters.
