For­mer Cen­tral Bank gov­er­nor Jwala Ram­bar­ran has been or­dered to pay over $100,000 in com­pen­sa­tion to for­mer Fi­nance Min­is­ter Colm Im­bert for defama­tion.

De­liv­er­ing a judg­ment via email on Mon­day, High Court Judge Kevin Ram­cha­ran up­held Im­bert’s claim and or­dered the com­pen­sa­tion.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that Im­bert may have to wait a while be­fore he po­ten­tial­ly re­ceives the dam­ages or­dered, as Ram­bar­ran is ex­pect­ed to ap­peal the out­come.
