Attorney Anil Nandlall says that the Attorney General’s Chambers, headed by his successor Basil Williams SC, owes to his clients in excess of $1.7M for payment of court costs awarded in cases which he has won against him.
In a letter to Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan, whose ministry Nandlall said is by law obligated to make the payments, he threatens court action, by way of initiating contempt proceedings unless the payments are made.
Nandlall says that all attempts so far to secure payment from the AG’s Chambers have proven futile, and as such he has decided to write Jordan, to whom he said he had initially spoken, concerning the matter.
