THE TOBAGO House of Assembly (THA) has been granted an extension of a month to reach an amicable settlement with the family of seven-year-old Angelica Jogie, who died after a jet ski collision at Pigeon Point Heritage Park in Tobago on April 8, before legal proceedings are filed over her death.

The extension was granted until September 9, following a response from attorneys representing Jogie’s family and estate to a request from THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine for additional time to respond to a pre-action protocol letter.

The THA, along with Pigeon Point Heritage Park Ltd and the jet ski operator, had previously been served a pre-action protocol letter on July 15. They were given 28 days to respond or legal proceedings would have been brought against them.
