$2.39m debt case: T&TEC sues Scotland

The Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) has filed a High Court lawsuit against Senior Counsel Keith Scotland and attorney Keisha Kydd-Hannibal over the handling of a $2.39 million debt-recovery case.

T&TEC is alleging breach of contract, professional negligence and, alternatively, deceit. It claims that three separate lawsuits filed to recover $2,392,220.11 in unpaid electricity charges from Flavorite Foods Ltd failed procedurally, leaving it without a live claim when the limitation period expired in January this year.
