Having reportedly evicted a group of 25 farmers from their land some years ago, the Corentyne, Berbice, John/Clifton Co-operative Land Society Limited has now itself been ordered by a Court to vacate and hand over portions of the land to the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL).
Among other things, High Court Judge Fidela Corbin Lincoln has ordered the co-op to in no way interfere with NICIL’s rights and enjoyment to the property.
In a ruling handed down just over a month ago, the Society was ordered to surrender to the NICIL some 315 acres of Plantation Clifton and John located on the Corentyne.
