The State has been ordered to pay almost $180,000 in compensation to a man from Princes Town, who claimed that he was extorted by a group of police officers.
In late April, the man, whose identity was withheld due to personal safety concerns raised by his attorneys, obtained a default judgment from High Court Judge Avason Quinlan-Williams after the Office of the Attorney General failed to defend his lawsuit against the State.
The compensation to be paid to him was assessed by High Court Master Wrenerson Lochan late last month.
