(Barbados Nation) Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin has been ordered to stop the criminal matter brought against the president of CLICO International Life, Terrence Thornhill, at least for now.
In a temporary stay granted yesterday by High Court Justice Kaye Goodridge, the Commissioner of Police was ordered to put a hold on criminal charges brought against Thornhill.
The matter effectively also puts a hold on similar criminal charges the police brought against former CLICO executive chairman Leroy Parris, his lawyer Michael Yearwood pointed out.
Thornhill and Parris have been accused of breaching an order from the Supervisor of Insurance in August 2009, prohibiting CLICO International Life, a subsidiary of CLICO Holdings Barbados, from selling new business.
