The High Court yesterday threw out a $125 million defamation suit that was filed by former Attorney General Anil Nandlall against his successor Basil Williams SC due to the failure by his attorneys to adhere to strict timelines set by the court.
Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, who was hearing the matter, threw out the case, owing to Nandlall’s attorneys not keeping case-management dates set by the court, in accordance with the new Civil Proce-dure Rules.
The lawsuit stemmed from allegations made by Williams about Nandlall’s acquisition of Common-wealth Law Reports while he served as the Attorney General under the former PPP/C government.
