Datalex in $27m US lawsuit

Irish travel software company Datalex is facing a $27m (€25m) lawsuit in California.

It concerns a dispute over a contract made in March 2000 between Datalex and travel services company PSA Inc.

Datalex had alleged that PSA was in breach of a contract made in March 2000 under which Datalex was to deliver and license its booking engine software to PSA.

The first instalment under the contract was paid but the remainder of the fees have not been paid by PSA.

On Datalex’s suing for the fees, PSA counterclaimed that Datalex did not have the “ technical capability to deliver the working system”.
