The co-own­ers and for­mer pre­sumed ten­ants of the Break­fast Shed have threat­ened le­gal ac­tion against the Ur­ban De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (UDe­COTT) over what they de­scribe as the “un­law­ful clo­sure” of the pop­u­lar Port of Spain eatery.

In a pre-ac­tion pro­to­col let­ter sent by their at­tor­ney Ken­neth Munroe Brown, the ven­dors ac­cused UDe­COTT’s Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer, Tam­i­ca Charles, of mis­lead­ing both the board and the na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty by deny­ing that evic­tion no­tices were is­sued.

The let­ter claims that Ms Charles “bul­lied, in­tim­i­dat­ed and hound­ed” the ven­dors out of their busi­ness­es, forc­ing them to close un­der “duress and ha­rass­ment.”
