Cash judgements awarded to women last year over repossessed homes still unpaid

Attorney-at-law Anil Nandlall has signalled his intention to file contempt proceedings following the Finance Minister’s failure to pay sums awarded to two women who had challenged the Central Housing and Planning Authority’s (CH&PA) decision to repossess their homes.

Gaytrie Singh, a resident of Parfait Harmonie won her case in November, 2016 and was awarded $200,000, while Linda Persaud won her case in December 2016 and was awarded $275,000. The judgments were handed down by then acting Chief Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards SC.
