DARWIN VENTURE LEAVES SOUR TASTE

Very much out of pocket , unimpressed by some members of the legal fraternity and dismayed by dealings with local businessmen and the handling of tenders and letting of government contracts , a man has departed Darwin intending to warn off entrepreneurs thinking of starting up in the Territory.

An alarm bell should have rung early in the piece when a person who wanted to do business with his company could not obtain credit from a supplier. The fellow was ,however, closely associated with a prominent Darwin resident.

The disenchanted businessman had travelled overseas and intended importing products for which there is a great demand in the NT. Unfortunately, all his efforts and expenditure have come to nought . The final blow came when a court document filed by his lawyer was incomplete -a page was missing - and he was promptly wound up. His treatment in the Territory has been examined by a southern lawyer .
