A senior attorney has obtained an interim injunction prohibiting a Chaguaramas farmer from publishing statements about him.

Justice Christopher Sieuchand granted the injunction to attorney and land surveyor Colvin Blaize against farmer Earl Peters on November 19.

The ruling came after Blaize asked the court to urgently restrain Peters, who has posted multiple social media videos accusing the attorney of fraud and professional misconduct. Blaize, a practising attorney for 29 years and a licensed land surveyor with more than three decades of experience, said Peters’ online posts, shared on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, falsely portray him as dishonest, corrupt and engaged in criminal activity.
