Clive Lloyd loses defamation suit against Guyana Chronicle

Clive Lloyd

Former West Indies captain, Sir Clive Lloyd, has lost a defamation suit he had filed against the Guyana Chronicle a year ago, and has been ordered to pay the newspaper company costs in the sum of $750,000.

In his ruling delivered earlier this month, High Court Judge Navindra Singh, noted that the words complained of by Lloyd were incapable of defaming or bringing his character into disrepute as claimed.

In dismissing the action, Justice Singh described it as “frivolous and a gross waste of judicial resources.”
