Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has stated that the Tobago House of Assembly is exercising caution in responding to a pre-action protocol letter from attorneys representing the Jogie family following the death of seven-year-old Angelica Jogie during a jet ski incident in the Pigeon Point Heritage Park in April.

The THA was requested to accept liability for failing to impose restrictions on jet ski activities while in full knowledge of the risks. It was delivered to the Assembly on July 15th, and they were given 28 days to respond.

However, Mr Augustine said the THA requested a one-month extension to prepare its response.
