Event Knowledge Services demand $500,000 payment

A company at the centre of a argument over non-payment of fees for services provided at last year's Common wealth Games in New Delhi has discarded claims of non-performance by organisers and has demanded that they are paid more than $500,000.Officials of last year's controversy-ridden Common wealth Games said previous this month partial payment to nine foreign companies have been suspended for "non-performance" without elaborating.

One of the companies, Event Knowledge Services (EKS), dismissed the allegations and needs the money it is claimed that it is owed for work carried out between January 1 and April 1 last year."EKS has never received any official or informal indication, written or verbal, that it was in breach of contract or that it was not performing satisfactorily against the settled scope of work," EKS chief executive Craig McLatchey said.

"EKS strongly refutes allegations of non-performance and openly confirms its rights to all outstanding payments due under its agreement with the Organising Committee."EKS has today written to the chief executive of the Delhi 2010 Organising Committee requiring full payment and retraction of the false and deceptive claims of non-performance."Organising committee chief executive Jarnail Singh could not be reached for comment.
