Kaieteur News is moving to discharge injunctions against this newspaper, its editor Adam Harris and publisher Glenn Lall which were granted by acting Chief Justice Ian Chang in separate ex parte applications by Attorney General Anil Nandlall and city hotel proprietor Clifton Bacchus.
Attorney Moses Nagamootoo has entered appearance for the newspaper defendants. He was granted leave to answer the unilateral claims upon which injunctions were granted to gag the newspaper from making further comments on matters concerning the AG and the hotel, which they said were defamatory of them.
Nagamootoo said that he would seek the discharge of the restraint orders on grounds of justification and fair comments on matters which the press ought to report in the interest of freedom of the press and that the injunctions are an unfair and unreasonable interference with free expression and were wrongly granted.
The comments against which the plaintiffs sought the Court’s protection were contained in the newspaper’s satirical column, “Dem Boys Seh”.
The Chief Justice has referred the matter to another High Court judge for hearing on April 22 whether the injunctions should be discontinued.
The libel actions were filed by Senior Counsel Bernard De Santos and lawyers attached to a private law firm bearing the name, Nandlall and Associates.
