Failing to file his witness statement, the $70 million libel suit which Senior Superintendent of Police Calvin Brutus had filed against retired Assistant Commissioner of Police and former Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Paul Slowe, has been thrown out.
Stabroek News understands that when the matter came up yesterday morning before High Court Judge Simone Morris-Ramlall, it was revealed that Brutus (the Claimant), had not filed his witness statement in accordance with the time previously set by the Court.
This newspaper understands that owing to that breach of the Court’s case management conference (CMC) orders, the action was dismissed; with no order being made as to costs.
