The Attorney General’s Chambers yesterday corrected an error in a press release it had issued on Tuesday in relation to a Full Court decision on a matter involving parking company Astrolobe Technology Inc.
The AG’s Chambers said that the press release incorrectly stated that the Appellant’s (Astrolobe’s) Application before the High Court had been thrown out by Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall.
In a follow-up press release yesterday, the AG’s Chambers said that in the High Court, The Appellant had sought the following declarations:
A declaration that its fundamental rights of protection from deprivation of property and protection against arbitrary entry were infringed;
A declaration that respondent had trespassed on the Applicant’s property;
declaration that the defendant caused loss to the Applicant’s business by unlawful means; and, Damages.
The AG’s Chambers release yesterday said that Justice Morris-Ramlall granted the declaration that there was a trespass on the Appellant’s property, and awarded nominal damages in the sum of $100,000 in respect of the said trespass, and costs in the sum of $100,000. It added that the judge refused to grant the other orders.
The release from the Attorney General’s Cham-bers on Tuesday had said that Justices Nareshwar Harnanan and Sandil Kissoon in the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Judicature, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the Notice of Appeal filed by Astrolobe on the 10th day of July, 2021 against the High Court decision.
The release said Astro-lobe through its Attorney-at-Law, Darren Wade, had filed a Notice of Appeal to the Full Court asking that the decision made in the High Court by Justice Morris-Ramlall on the 14th day of June, 2021 be set aside.
