Senior professor at the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), Wasi Khan, was awarded $200,000 in damages after a High Court judge ruled that he was defamed by a colleague.
Justice Kevin Ramcharan ruled on Monday that the comments made against the professor were defamatory and that they were false, malicious and unsupported by evidence.
The defamatory comments were made by his then colleague, Valerie Stoute, who, in a series of written complaints in 2019, made the comments to the board of directors at UTT.
