The State has been ordered to pay a little over $200,000 in compensation to a cannabis activist and members’ club owner for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
High Court Judge Frank Seepersad made the order yesterday as he upheld a lawsuit brought by Lorenzo Mendez-Stewart at the end of a brief trial at the Waterfront Judicial Centre in Port-of-Spain.
The case related to Mendez-Stewart’s arrest for marijuana possession on October 12, 2018.
