Woolford wins $7m lawsuit against NCN

Enrico Woolford

Former General Manager of the National Communications Network (NCN) Enrico Woolford, has won a $7m lawsuit he had filed against the state-owned media entity which he had said owed him gratuity payment for some three years.                                                                        

In a ruling delivered on Tuesday, High Court Judge Jo-Ann Barlow, who found that NCN was obligated to pay Woolford his due entitlement under the contract of employment, awarded him an additional two million dollars in costs.

The Judge found among other things, that in accordance with the terms of Woolford’s employment contract, he was entitled to the full $7,796,687 claimed in his action which she said was in fact an undertaking given by NCN.
