Final ruling issued on Central Village access dispute

The 2019 Supreme Court order for the operator of the Suvarnabhumi aircraft to eliminate obstacles was upheld.

Five years after an injunction was issued to end a 10-day dispute, the Central Administrative Court has ordered Airports of Thailand Plc ( AoT ) to stop preventing people from entering and exiting the Central Village luxury shopping center.

The decision on Tuesday is the final outcome of a fight that occurred in August 2019 as the store creator Central Pattana Plc ( CPN) was working to start the 5-billion baht house close to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Crosslinking allegedly prevented the plaza from using and maintaining Highway 370 at the time, claiming that it had the legal right to do so.

However, the jury determined that AoT had no authority to set up tents on the state’s property in a way that made Central Village’s entry and exit impossible.

The court on Tuesday ordered AoT to give 2.99 million baht, plus 7.5 % interest, to the defendants CPN and the store operator CPN Village Co for the harm caused by the leakage.

The two functions initially claimed that AoT unjustly blocked Central Village entry and exit on August 22, 2019, just before its scheduled opening on August 30.

AoT was required to remove the houses it had set up by a court order on August 30, 2019. Additionally, the lawsuit provided Northern Village with temporary protection from the aircraft operator’s actions until a final decision may be reached. That decision came on Tuesday.
