The Court of Appeal has ordered Jamaica Public Service Company  (JPS)to disclose an internal investigation report into a 2015 fire that devastated a St Andrew coffee farm, resulting in losses operators said valued at about $16 million.

The court Friday dismissed the electricity provider's appeal against a 2023 Supreme Court order order compelling specific disclosure of the investigative report and all related materials, including photographs, correspondence with the investigator, and the investigator's identity and contact details.

In a unanimous ruling, the panel comprising Justices Nicole Foster-Pusey, David Fraser and Evan Brown, said JPS failed to establish that the document was shielded from disclosure by legal privilege. JPS has 14 days from today's judgment to comply with the disclosure order.
