High Court Judge Sandra Kurtzious in a default judgment has ordered Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo to pay $20 million in damages to former junior Minister of Communities Annette Ferguson who had filed a libel lawsuit against him last year.
The default judgment was as a result of Jagdeo’s failure to file a defence within the required time and is provided for under Part 12:01 (2) (d) of the of the Supreme Court of Judicature.

One needs to comply with the requirements of the laws.

It will be of interest to see how the case will proceed where former president David Granger failed to present the needed documents/defense by the designated/specific time frame.
