VEMAG has filed a suit seeking to restrain the DVLA from rolling out a new vehicle number plate registration system.
When the case was called on Friday, February 13, counsel for Original Manufacturing and Embossment Company Limited, led by Prof. Kwame Gyan, informed the court that the second defendant had initiated settlement talks with the plaintiffs.
“I have a very long-standing excellent relationship with Martin Kpebu. We’ve had conference at the bar and outside the courtroom. We propose that my Lord is amenable to one adjournment to continue the conversation,” Prof Gyan was quoted to have said in a 3news.com report on Friday, February 13, 2026.
Lead counsel for VEMAG, Martin Kpebu, confirmed the ongoing discussions and appealed to the court to adjourn proceedings to allow the parties to pursue an amicable resolution.
Lawyers for the DVLA also indicated that they were not opposed to the proposal and expressed readiness to support efforts aimed at settling the matter out of court.
Presiding judge, Justice Isaac Addo, subsequently adjourned the case and directed the parties to file the terms of settlement before the next hearing date.
