SUVA, Fiji (Fijilive, Apr. 5) - A calm and collected David Gilmour took the stand today in Fiji's Supreme Court, in a trial that could cost the American millionaire $70 million, should he lose.
Januz Kubs, a former Fiji Water shareholder and managing director is suing Gilmour, alleging that he misinformed him and his wife Mama'o of the company's performance and pressured them to sell their shares.
His lawyer Robert Fardell questioned Gilmour on the export of bottled Fiji Water during the company's beginnings in the mid nineties.
Gilmour was also asked why the United States had been chosen as the primary export market to which he replied, "We looked to the U.S. of the size of the market".
