Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob has downplayed a threat by Hopewell (Thailand) Co to bring a criminal lawsuit against the government for failing to pay several billion baht in compensation over a cancelled transport project about two decades ago.
Saying the matter should be left to the court to decide, Mr Saksayam dismissed the company's legal threat as business as usual, adding it is not unusual for private companies to attempt to sue the government.
