Former prime minister Stuart Young has successfully defended a landmark case against the Trinidad Express newspaper over being defamed by an advertisement.
In a judgment delivered yesterday, Appellate Judges Nolan Bereaux, James Aboud and Mark Mohammed rejected an appeal brought by the newspaper over a judge’s decision to uphold Young’s case and order over $500,000 in compensation.
Justice Bereaux, who wrote the judgment, said that Justice Betsy Ann Lambert-Peterson could not be faulted for her decision on liability or the quantum of damages awarded.
