A lawyer has chal­lenged a judge’s de­ci­sion to re­fer him to the Dis­ci­pli­nary Com­mit­tee of the Law As­so­ci­a­tion of T&T (LATT) for fa­cil­i­tat­ing a ques­tion­able mul­ti-mil­lion dol­lar loan.

On Mon­day, lawyers rep­re­sent­ing Varun De­bideen filed an ap­peal over a judg­ment de­liv­ered by High Court Judge Frank Seep­er­sad last month.

The law­suit cen­tred around a con­tract for a ma­jor con­struc­tion project en­tered be­tween Ad­vance Hose and Mar­ket­ing and Cordell Philbert in Ju­ly 2023.
