Spanning sixteen years, the long battle in the courts has finally come to an end for former dismissed manager of the New Building Society (NBS), Maurice Arjoon, who has been awarded his pension and other benefits in full.
Arjoon has already been paid a lump sum of in excess of $59 million, but the legal journey he has had to walk against the mortgage institution —which had been found to have wrongfully dismissed him in the first place—has been met with appeal after appeal.
That long, winding battle finally ended on October 23rd, with the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruling in Arjoon’s favour, affirming a High Court judgment, in which it was found that he was entitled to be compensated accordingly for pension, loss of earnings and severance benefits.
