Granted a stay of the default judgment for which damages were to be assessed and imposed against Vice President (VP) Bharrat Jagdeo for defaming former government minister Annette Ferguson, the assessment-hearing which had been set for last Wednesday did not come off.
In fact, Jagdeo who had filed an appeal to the judgment, was granted the interim stay on July 13th by acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC and Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry who will be hearing the appeal in the Full Court.
The stay which Jagdeo had requested, will remain in effect until his appeal has been fully heard and determined.
