Bank of Baroda has blamed its former lawyers, Taibjee & Bhalla Advocates, for failing to file its defence in the Sh2 billion Infinity Industrial Park dispute.

In a fresh affidavit filed in the long-running commercial dispute before Milimani Commercial Court, the bank says its advocates failed to inform it that the High Court had granted leave to file a defence.

The disclosure comes after Justice Peter Mulwa dismissed the bank's bid to set aside a default judgment entered against it, finding that the lender had been granted an opportunity to file its defence but failed to comply with the court's directions.
