The State has been ordered to pay over $125,000 in compensation to a pair of fishermen from Moruga, whose boat was seized and detained for almost four years without lawful justification.
Marcus Dover and Rajesh Laltoo won their lawsuit over the seizure, leading to the return of the boat late last year, but the compensation owed to them was only assessed by High Court Master Wrenerson Lochan last week.
The duo’s pirogue “Fresh Cash” was seized by police officers on November 2, 2021.
