The Court of Appeal has found no error in Supreme Court Justice Althea Jarrett’s decision rejecting Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness’ bid to strike out portions of an affidavit filed by a senior Integrity Commission (IC) official, ruling that the disputed material was relevant and neither scandalous, frivolous nor vexatious.

The ruling came as the appellate court dismissed an appeal brought by Holness, Imperium Holdings Limited, Positive Media Solutions Limited and Positive Jamaica Foundation against the IC, its executive director, Craig Beresford, and Director of Investigations Kevon Stephenson.

The appeal was considered on paper by Justices Frank Williams, Marcia Dunbar-Green and Frank Brown, with the judgment delivered by Justice Paulette Williams.
