CLOSE to $1 million in damages has been awarded to a former senior employee at Capildeo Lands Ltd and Prism Trust and Finance Company Ltd after the High Court found that he was constructively dismissed and defamed by his employers.
The ruling, delivered on June 1 by Justice Robin Mohammed, awarded Michael Khan a total of $941,561.87 in damages, interest and prescribed costs following a civil claim arising out of his abrupt removal from both companies in April 2019.
Khan, a construction and land development professional, had served as managing director of Capildeo Lands and chief executive officer of Prism Trust. He sued Capildeo Lands, Prism Trust and their chairman, Carlton Reis, alleging constructive dismissal and defamation.
