A CLASSIC case of “financial grooming by a quintessential financial sociopath” was the description of the case by the attorney representing a company seeking to recover $7 million in funds paid to a contractor for a construction project that allegedly did not materialise.

Attorney Jagdeo Singh used the description in an opening statement at the start of the trial of Advance Hose and Marketing Ltd against contractor Cordell Philbert, Joash Ramjattan, and his company ZA Limity Engineering Consultancy.

Singh represents Advance Hose and Justice Frank Seepersad will deliver his ruling on April 2.
