Advancing claims of bias, former Attorney General Basil Williams wants High Court judge Priya Sewnarine-Beharry to recuse herself from hearing a libel action his successor Anil Nandlall SC had filed against him.
Williams’ application has its genesis in the action filed by Nandlall on April 4th, 2017, for damages for libel and slander which he alleges Williams published against him at a press conference.
Nandlall’s complaint is that Williams had said at that press conference that he (Nandlall) would be charged for missing law books, unaccounted for during his (Nandlall’s) tenure as Attorney General between 2011 and 2015.
