A case brought by Sri Lanka's Consumer Affairs Authority against LAUGFS Gas PLC over alleged failures to maintain a continuous gas supply is due to be called again on December 15, according to November 11 reports by published reporting.

The reports say company representatives appeared before Colombo Additional Magistrate Darshima Premaratne and that the company's lawyer sought time for discussions with the authority. Earlier reporting by published reporting had confirmed that the authority initiated proceedings and that the company was summoned for November 11.

The allegations concern gas distribution and consumer protection. They are not a finding that the company has been convicted, and the reported next hearing does not by itself establish an agreement or settlement. This account is based on court reporting; the written court order has not been independently inspected.
