Attorney Eusi Anderson was yesterday fined $100,000 for lying to Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall.
Anderson was cited for contempt after he told the High Court judge that he had a matter before the Chief Justice at the same time he was expected to be before her.
The infraction was committed on November 30, when he told the judge that he had to be before Chief Justice Roxane George for 9 on December 4. As a result, Justice Morris-Ramlall adjourned the trial she was presiding over to 11 am on that date.
Anderson, however, still showed up late.
