Former government minister Annette Ferguson has won a libel suit she had brought against Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton; and was awarded $6,000,000 in damages for certain statements he had made about her during a televised programme.
This is according to a press release from the office of Ferguson’s attorney, Lyndon Amsterdam, which said that Hamilton has also been ordered to pay Ferguson costs in the sum of $350,000.
In April of 2021, Ferguson filed a $50 million lawsuit against Hamilton, whom she alleged made libellous statements about her during a televised programme.
