Former General Manager of the National Communications Net-work (NCN) Enrico Woolford has filed a $185 million lawsuit against the Guyana Times and one of its columnists, former Minister of Health Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, on the contention that they have libelled him.
In his statement of claim, Woolford (the Claimant) said that Ramsammy made certain libelous statements about him which were published in his column by the Times newspaper on March 18th, 2020.
In addition to damages, he also wants the court to grant an interim injunction restraining Ramsammy and the Times (the Defendants) from, whether by their servants and/or agents, further publishing or causing to be published by any means whatsoever, whether electronic or print, the offensive words.
