Dynamos have been slapped with another lawsuit after Motor Action football club issued summons against the Harare giants to pay US$8 000 as transfer fees for William Kupera.
Lawyers representing the Mighty Bulls, as Motor Action is popularly known, have given Dynamos an ultimatum to pay the money in seven days or face legal action.
"Particulars of claim (are that) payment of the sum of US$8 000 being transfer fees for the professional services of a football player William Kupera, sold to Defendant by Plaintiff, at Defendant's specific instance and request, which amount is now due and owing but Defendant neglects, refuses and or has failed to pay despite repeated demand," read the summons instituted by Muzenda and Partners law firm on behalf of the Mighty Bulls.
"Interest at the compound rate of 20 percent per annum with effect from September 11 2011 to date of payment in full as agreed between the parties and costs of suit."
The row between the two Harare clubs arose after Motor Action signed an agreement with Dynamos to transfer Kupera to the Harare giants at a value of US$10 000.
The Mighty Bulls have agreed to pay the player his March salary and his outstanding dues of US$1 000 which Motor Action director Mr Eric Rosen said was going to be paid against his release fee.
From the US$10 000 transfer fee, Kupera is going to get US$2 000.
The remaining US$8 000 shall be paid to the Mighty Bulls boss in three instalments.
According to the agreement, in the event that the payment was not effected by the due dates, it would attract an interest of 20 percent per annum on outstanding amount.
