Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday said he secured a $15m judgment against commentator Anthony Vieira over a defamatory May 4th, 2011 broadcast on CNS Channel Six.
In a release yesterday, Edghill said that on the day in question Vieira hosted a commentary aired on CNS Channel 6 in which several defamatory statements concerning Edghill were broadcast.
As a result, on the 17th of May, 2011, Edghill filed a lawsuit against Vieira and Chandra Narine Sharma, trading under the name and style of C.N.S. Channel 6 for the defamation which he said seriously damaged his reputation and caused him tremendous distress, embarrassment, public humiliation and ridicule.
