SUNLAND concocted its lawsuit against two Australians it accuses of swindling it in a Dubai property deal to avoid the emirate laying bribery charges against it, a court has heard.
Peter Collinson, SC, counsel for one of the men, Matthew Joyce, told the Victorian Supreme Court that Sunland chairman Soheil Abedian and the company's Middle East head, David Brown, had a ''deliberate strategy'' to deceive Dubai authorities about the true nature of the property transaction.
Sunland alleges Mr Joyce and his friend Angus Reed duped it into paying a $14 million fee for control of a prime Dubai waterfront development site in 2007.
