HOUSTON – Companies hired by an Iraqi resident doing business in Harris County to manufacture valves are alleged to have failed to ship them in a timely manner and manufacture them in the U.S.
Walled Mamoon filed a complaint on June 22 in the Harris County District Court against AES Valves LLC, IES Interests LLC, IES International Energy Services LTD, et al. alleging breach of contract and other counts.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on June 15, 2009, the plaintiff contracted defendants for the production and furnishing of pipe valves for $929,819.65. On June 14, 2010, the suit states that a procedural error at the Bank of Iraq accidentally transferred $1.5 million to IES LTD's account and the defendant has refused to return the mistaken payments.
The plaintiff also alleges IES missed the shipment date for the values.
