For failing to file its defence on time in the more than $100 million libel suit brought against it by former President David Granger, the Kaieteur News (KN) has been sanctioned and ordered to pay costs in the sum of $150,000.
Additionally, a ruling on a default judgment against it has been reserved.
Counsel for the newspaper company—Shaunella Glen—told Justice Naresh-war Harnanan during a virtual hearing yesterday that she had been belatedly retained by the KN.
