ATTORNEY General Camille Robinson-Regis is asking for $4 million to be paid to her by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar as compensation for defamation arising out of statements made by her (Persad-Bissessar) at a UNC Cottage Meeting on March 17.

The request was made in a pre-action protocol letter dated March 28, sent to Persad-Bissessar by attorney Anthony Manwah which initiated defamation proceedings for alleged slander committed by the Opposition Leader against Robinson-Regis.

Persad-Bissessar’s statements related to Robinson-Regis’ lack of a practising certificate from the Law Association, to the controversy involving a bank deposit of $143,000 years ago and to the use of a credit card.
