Clash at Clarendon corporation meeting over circulation of court documents

A dispute over the circulation of court documents relating to the legal battle involving Clarendon Mayor Joel Williams and Deputy Mayor Clive Mundle erupted during Thursday’s council meeting, with People's National Party (PNP) Caucus Leader Councillor Scean Barnswell questioning whether the documents should have been distributed at an open meeting.

Barnswell challenged the decision to circulate the injunction, affidavit and applications filed by the claimants and defendants, arguing that the documents contained confidential information and that their distribution in the presence of members of the public and the media could breach the court's instructions.
