Berbice bar condemns attacks on Justice Kurtzious

Justice Sandra Kurtzious

The executive and members of the Berbice Bar Association have condemned recent attacks aimed at Justice Sandra Kurtzious.

In a statement, the Association said the judge has been the subject of attacks because she correctly performed her duties as a sitting High Court judge when she recently granted a default judgment ordering Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo to pay former government minister Annette Ferguson $20 million, owing to his failure to file a defence on time in a libel action brought against him.
