Dissatisfied with the finding of High Court Judge Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, that he had slandered his then predecessor Anil Nandlall SC over allegations of law reports being stolen from the AG’s Chambers, now former Attorney General Basil Williams SC is seeking to set aside the $10m judgment awarded to Nandlall.
In his appeal, Williams is contending that the judge made a number of legal errors and as a result misdirected herself when she arrived at the findings she did.
In her ruling delivered on June 30th, Justice Sewnarine-Beharry said it was clear that Williams intended to, among other things, label Nandlall a thief; which was defamatory to him.
