The Appeal Court yesterday reinstated the close-to-$20 million judgment that was awarded to the nine men who were found not guilty of the murder of businesswoman Vindra Naipaul-Coolman.
The decision was handed down in a virtual hearing yesterday before Justices Nolan Bereaux, Mark Mohammed and Ronnie Boodoosingh. It was a majority decision with Bereaux and Mohammed agreeing, while Boodoosingh dissented.
The appeal involved the decision of Justice Joan Charles to set aside the multimillion dollar award that Master Martha Alexander had thought the men should receive.
Shervon Peters and Devon Peters, their brother Anthony Gloster, Joel Fraser, Ronald Armstrong, Keida and Jameel Garcia, Marlon Trimmingham, and Antonio Charles were to each receive $2.1 million for malicious prosecution and for the ten years they spent in prison before being freed in 2016.
Back in January 2021, they were granted leave by the High Court to enter a default judgment against the Attorney General. However, following an application by the Attorney General, the judge set aside the default judgment on the basis of improper service.
The men were represented by senior counsel Anand Ramlogan who submitted during the hearing of the appeal that Justice Charles erred when she found that the legal claim was not properly served on the State, as was contended by the Office of the Attorney General in its setting aside application.
He had said it was not the case that the State was unaware of the proceedings, given that its attorneys made appearances at both the trial stage and when Master Alexander made her assessment on the award of damages.
Ramlogan questioned why the State never raised the issue of improper service until after the Master assessed the award.
Justices Bereaux and Mohammed further noted that, “The courts are bound to follow the rules of procedure unless the rules themselves provide otherwise.
Public opinion is not a barometer for the rendering of judicial decisions. The appellants’ case for malicious prosecution and entry of default judgment must be judged by the same standard as any other member of the public.
We must not lose sight of the sacred constitutional principle of the presumption of innocence. No guilt was proven in this case. The appellants were charged and prosecuted in accordance with the due process provisions of our Constitution.
They were found not guilty, in accordance with due process. They are entitled to pursue their claim for damages for what they perceived to be a malicious prosecution.”
Bereaux read the majority decision which stated that the appeal was allowed.
He set aside the December 2023 order which had set aside the default judgment. Bereaux restored the default judgment and the master’s order. The appellants’ costs was ordered to be paid by the respondent.
Bereaux further dismissed the counter notice of appeal which was filed by the State in relation to the previous order for costs. (Express)

Never made sense to me. Lots of high profile gangsters owe these ppl serious favors. No wonder its so easy to get these thugs contracts, to intimidate ppl and commit high profile murders.
You spoke about contracts I just brought URP contacts to your attention as you alluded to the UNC awarding contacts to criminals due to most attorneys defending high profile characters become AG and ministers. When you speak bring facts.mero wrote:Hover-bot, what does that have to do with Vindra and the convo at hand? Think you need get that low attention span checked out.
