Re­peat­ed de­lays in re­pay­ing an over $100,000 debt to a for­mer client have land­ed a lawyer a two-week stint in prison.

At­tor­ney Kavi­ta Crys­tal Per­sad was com­mit­ted to the Women's Prison in Arou­ca for 14 days as she was held in con­tempt of court by High Court Judge Frank Seep­er­sad, yes­ter­day.

The con­tempt pro­ceed­ings against Per­sad, of Old Fac­to­ry Road, Pi­ar­co, stemmed from a law­suit filed by her for­mer client Kyle Hope-Singh, three years ago.
