A promi­nent busi­ness­man from San­gre Grande has scored a vic­to­ry in a pro­tract­ed le­gal bat­tle over his ac­qui­si­tion of a prop­er­ty.

De­liv­er­ing a judg­ment yes­ter­day, Ap­pel­late Judges Mi­ra Dean-Ar­mor­er, Mal­colm Holdip, and Car­la Brown-An­toine ruled that a High Court Judge erred when she up­held a law­suit brought by Nor­bert Her­nan­dez against busi­ness­man Kei­th Quam­i­na and one of his com­pa­nies, Woods En­ter­prise Hold­ings Lim­it­ed.

Jus­tice Brown-An­toine, who de­liv­ered the pan­el's de­ci­sion, said: "This is one of those rare cas­es where the tri­al judge reached a con­clu­sion and there was no ev­i­dence to sup­port it."
