AG threatens Chris Ram, Stabroek News with lawsuit
Chartered Accountant and Attorney at Law Christopher Ram has seven days to retract a letter he penned against the
Anil Nandlall
Attorney General in the Stabroek News yesterday. The AG, through his legal representative Mr. Sase Gunraj, said yesterday that Ram could also offer an apology to prevent any legal proceedings.
The letter which spoke about the appointment of members for the Judicial Service Commission, according to the AG, alleged that he was careless about the details. Also, the letter alleged that Nandlall is cavalier about the constitution and the law and that he is mischievous and obfuscatory.
Gunraj contended that the letter used words which in their natural and ordinary meaning meant and were understood to mean that “his client is incompetent, is guilty of dereliction of his duty as the principal legal advisor for government”.
According to the writ, the allegations are not only libelous but are reckless and are accentuated by malice and have caused him a great amount of public ridicule, odium, contempt and embarrassment both locally and internationally.
In those circumstances, Gunraj said that he is instructed to demand a public retraction of the libelous statement concerning my client along with an unreserved apology, giving same equal or greater prominence.
Gunraj is a lawyer working out of Nandlall’s private practice.
