Good deed lands condom maker in court

A good deed has landed a condom maker in court.
A former director of a collapsed condom company is going head to head with a national transport firm over unpaid storage fees for nearly a million condoms he claims are missing.
Dustin Leonard claims Transport Management Solutions (TMS) failed to ship 916,000 donated Hero condoms to Botswana and then invoiced him two years worth of storage fees for the same condoms.

Leonard told A Current Affair he paid the invoices in good faith believing TMS would acknowledge its error, reimburse Hero and pay for another shipment of condoms to Africa.
"They couldn't actually tell us where the condoms were," Leonard said during a visit to the TMS warehouse in Western Sydney.
Instead, TMS issued Leonard a final storage fee invoice of $5751 which the former Hero boss refused to pay.

The blow-up triggered an ugly court battle and now TMS is personally suing Leonard for more than $22,000 because the Hero company has since been liquidated and deregistered.
TMS denies Leonard's claims and did not want to comment further ahead of the court hearing in February next year.
