THE Privy Council has restored a High Court ruling in which Minister in the Ministry of Housing Phillip Edward Alexander was ordered to pay $.75 million to businessman Andrew Gabriel for defamation of character.
In a ruling delivered yesterday, the apex court overturned a Court of Appeal decision which had reduced the damages to a nominal $10,000.
The apex court directed that the matter be reinstated before the High Court for reassessment of damages.
