After winning his case in court, Chairman of the Giftland Group of Companies Roy Beepat has threatened to sue Georgetown Mayor Ubraj Narine for $200 million if he does not offer a “full apology” by Monday afternoon for the damage caused by accusations he levelled against the company over rates and taxes.
“So Mayor, you better get yourself here by 2 o’ clock because we are serious now. Your damage has been done and now it is time for you to admit you are wrong and say you are sorry. We will be willing to accept that. If you are not willing to say you are sorry and you are not willing to apologise… we will take the next step in court,” Beepat said, while speaking at a press conference held at his office yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile, at his own press conference yesterday at City Hall, Narine and the lawyer for the city council saw some positives in the ruling of Chief Justice Roxane George on Thursday which cleared Giftland of the liability which had been claimed.
