Dr Leslie Ramsammy has succeeded in getting the default judgment that was granted against him in a libel suit brought by former General Manager of the National Communications Network (NCN) Enrico Woolford set aside.
The Full Court, comprising Justice Gino Persaud and Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, ruled in Ramsammy’s favour in a judgment delivered on Thursday.
Ramsammy, Advisor to the Minister of Health, had appealed the ruling of High Court Judge Fidela Corbin-Lincoln, who had refused his application to set aside the default judgment that was granted against him. Ramsammy sought to have the judgment set aside as he claimed that he was unaware of Woolford’s action against him since he had never been personally served.
