Dismissed New Building Society (NBS) manager Maurice Arjoon has filed a cross-appeal asking that an additional $18 million in damages be added to the $79 million compensation package awarded to him by Justice Brassington Reynolds last month along with general damages.
Arjoon, who spent years in court seeking compensation for his dismissal in June, 2007, following the disappearance of $69 million from the account of a customer and more time prior to that, fighting a criminal charge instituted against him and others, believes that the sum of $18,213,892, which represents loss of earnings, allowances and leave pay and passage, ought to have been awarded by the judge.
Arjoon’s latest court action follows the NBS’s decision to appeal the award by Justice Reynolds.
