A High Court judge has dismissed a second application to set aside a defamation judgment in favour of PNM Point Fortin candidate Kennedy Richards Jr.
Justice Christopher Sieuchand had been asked by a political activist and a member of the Progressive Empowerment Party to set aside a May 2024 judgment in Richards’ favour after they failed to put forward their defence in his defamation claim. On April 14, he dismissed Renison Jeffery and Sheldon Khan’s application.
In July 2024, then High Court judge Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell dismissed a previous application to set aside the default judgment.
