Judgment for Ferguson against Jagdeo stands

With the Full Court divided in its finding on the appeal filed by Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo to the $20M default judgment granted against him to former government Minister Annette Ferguson that decision currently stands.

Stabroek News understands that while acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC ruled that the default judgment should stand, Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry’s position was that it should be vacated.

Given the split positions of the Full Court, the ruling of Justice Sandra Kurtzious who found that Ferguson was defamed by Jagdeo, stands.
