Stephen Fraser rejects fraud claim by judge

Attorney Stephen Fraser SC has rejected a judge’s finding that he committed fraud on the court in relation to a land case.

The declaration was made by Justice Sandil Kissoon on March 14th when he threw out a case which Fraser had presented on behalf of his client, Deborah DaSilva DeSantos. The judge also removed DeSantos as the executrix in relation to the land .

Responding to the Sunday Stabroek in relation to Justice Kissoon’s ruling, Fraser supplied the following statement: “We are of the view that Justice Kissoon erred both at law and fact in concluding, amongst other things, that Snr. Counsel committed a fraud on the court.   The judge must have taken extraneous matters into account.  The decision has been appealed.
