A state counsel was present in court on the day that a judgment of $1.7b was handed down by Justice Brassington Reynolds in favour of Toolsie Persaud Limited (TPL) over land at Turkeyen but she was there in relation to another case, according to a statement on Monday from the Attorney General’s Chambers.
The statement from the AG’s Chambers came in response to a April 26th news item in Stabroek News headlined `Gov’t to appeal $1.7b damages award to TPL’ in which it was stated that Attorney General Basil Williams had said that the judgment would be appealed and that his Chambers had no knowledge of the case nor was there a file on it.
The news item pointed out that Marks had been present in court during the almost two-hour delivery of the judgment except for a few minutes during which she stepped outside before returning shortly after.
