THE Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) has threatened legal action against Member of Parliament for Port of Spain South Keith Scotland, SC, and attorney Keisha Kydd-Hannibal, alleging their handling of a debt recovery case caused the loss of more than $2.39 million in public funds.

In a pre-action protocol letter issued yesterday by attorneys from Freedom Law Chambers, led by Senior Counsel Anand Ramlogan, T&TEC signalled its intention to sue both attorneys for professional negligence, breach of contract, fraudulent and/or negligent misstatement, and deceit.

The proposed claim arises from efforts to recover $2,392,220.11 in unpaid electricity charges from Flavorite Foods Ltd.
