Charges against two policemen for conspiring in an $8m robbery against a Chinese national were thrown out yesterday when it was found that the requisite fiat had not been inscribed on the case jacket.
A fiat is a legally binding command or decision entered on the court record. It is now unclear what will become of the intended charge against constables Julian Smartt, and Winston Williams.
They both appeared before Chief Magistrate (ag) Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court where they were charged jointly with conspiracy to commit robbery.
