A busi­ness­man from Pe­nal has won his law­suit over the de­ten­tion of nine lux­u­ry ve­hi­cles by the Cus­toms and Ex­cise Di­vi­sion (CED).

Ear­li­er this week, High Court Judge Na­dia Kan­ga­loo grant­ed Kess Kessoon­dan a de­fault judg­ment in his case against the Comp­trol­ler of the CED and the Of­fice of the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al.

The out­come of the case was based on Jus­tice Kan­ga­loo find­ing that the de­fence re­lied on by the de­fen­dants had no re­al­is­tic prospect of suc­cess at tri­al.
