To be fair, I don't see this as anything wrong. This is something any opposition would in fact do given the circumstances.

Where I fault UNC is that they have done nothing to make the party seem credible. The handful of good educated politicians who've done T&T well are currently marginalized or kicked out.

The people running the UNC are a set of deluded racists Hindu sycophants.

United National Congress (UNC) party activist Brian Stone has been ordered to pay over $400,000 in compensation to Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley for defamation.

Although Rowley obtained a default judgment against Stone over comments he posted on his (Stone) Facebook page in 2017, well over a year ago, High Court Master Martha Alexander only decide on the compensation owed to Rowley in a written decision delivered electronically, yesterday.

Stone, who previously served as Caribbean New Media Group (CNMG) chairman, accused Rowley of receiving bribes from a certain segment of society and of engaging in corruption in relation to the construction of a building in west Trinidad.

Stone gave a public apology and retraction a little over a month before Rowley filed the lawsuit.

High Court Judge David Harris granted Rowley’s lawyers an order allowing them to serve the lawsuit in a series of newspaper advertisements over a two-week period after they unsuccessfully attempted to physically serve it on him.

Rowley’s lawyers Michael Quamina and Clay Hackett obtained the default judgment on his behalf after he (Stone) failed to submit a defence to the claim as required under the Civil Proceedings Rules.

In her decision, Alexander noted that while testifying before her, Rowley was especially aggrieved by Stone’s allegations as he claimed to have been an anti-corruption advocate throughout his political career, which has spanned more than 30 years.

“The defamatory statements that formed the bedrock of this matter, therefore, proved to be a source of disquiet and shock, more particularly as they were baseless and injurious,” Alexander said.

In her assessment, Alexander had to consider whether the apology issued to Rowley helped to mitigate the damage to his reputation.

“In the present case, the court finds the apology was prompt and gave full coverage and retraction to all defamatory statements made,” she said.

She noted that Rowley was unable to prove that the apology was insincere.

“The claimant did not bring any evidence to show a continuation of the defamatory statements by the defendant after the apology and the court was unwilling to make unfounded assumptions of which it had no proof,” she said.

While Alexander said that the apology helped to ameliorate or soft the impact of the compensation, she still ordered to Stone to pay $300,000 in general damages.

She also stated that Rowley was entitled to $50,000 in aggravated damages for the diminution of his self-esteem and self-respect.

“There was a poignancy and clarity to his evidence of wounded pride and public humiliation, which the court accepted as genuine,” she said.

Alexander did refuse to grant Rowley exemplary damages, which she noted were awarded in defamation cases where a defendant’s conduct is calculated to make a profit.

“Whilst it was reckless, there was no evidence seized upon as a revenue-earning opportunity at the claimant’s expense,” Alexander said.

As part of her decision, Alexander ordered that Stone pay two and a half percent interest on the damages between February 2018 and yesterday as well as the $35,078.01 in legal costs Rowley incurred in the lawsuit.

Stone was represented by Robin Montano.

US WARNS T&T
...if Iranian tankers allowed into T&T’s ports for assistance



The Government has been advised by the United States that allowing any of five Iranian tankers into this country’s ports to access services could result in sanctions.

The Express learned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was officially informed of the repercussions of providing assistance to these five tankers that are transporting fuel to Venezuela.

One of the tankers is expected to be in nearby waters by this weekend.

Both Iran and Venezuela have been sanctioned by the US.

Specifically, US sanctions on Iran target anyone purchasing or facilitating the purchase of petroleum products from that country.

Iran and Venezuela are moving ahead with the fuel delivery, in defiance of already-imposed sanctions.

The five Iranian-flagged ships are the Fortune, Hyundai Mipo (­formerly known as Petunia), ­Forest, Faxon and Clavel.

They are all loaded with Iranian-refined petroleum products, and will soon approach Trinidad and Tobago territorial waters.

These five ships are listed on the US Department of the Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals lists (SDN List) as blocked property due to their connections to the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) and the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRISL).

The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) had advised that the provision of support or services to these vessels may create sanctions enforcement exposure.

The sanctions list

According the US, sanctionable activity could include the following:

· providing vessel registry, flagging, or classification services of any kind to such vessels;

· providing insurance or ­re-insu­rance to such vessels;

· providing bunkers, fuel or other petroleum products, or bunkering or other servicing to such vessels;

· participating in the repair of ships and their parts;

· inspecting, testing, and certifying marine equipment materials and components;

· carrying out of surveys, inspec­tions, audits and visits, and the issuance, renewal or endorsement of the relevant certificates and documents of compliance, as they relate to ships and shipping; and

· any other goods or services relating to the maintenance, supply, bunkering, and docking of such vessels.

The Express understands that the Port Authority, law enforcement and other authorities will have to be instructed to ensure any port access is denied to the Iranian tankers.

Tension mounts

Meanwhile, tension continues between the US and Iran.

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump’s National Security Council tweeted: “The importation of Iranian gasoline is an act of desperation by the corrupt & illegiti­mate Maduro regime. It will not stop Venezuela’s chronic fuel shortages or alleviate the suffering that Maduro has inflicted on the once prosperous people of his country.”

According to a report in the Washington Post, the Iranians are warning against any US effort to board or blockade the vessels.

A BBC report on Thursday stated the Venezuelan military will escort Iranian tankers delivering much-needed petrol to the country to prevent any attempt by the US to stop them.

It stated Venezuela’s Defence Minister indicated that the tankers would be “welcomed” into its ­exclusive economic zone.

“When they enter our exclusive economic zone, they will be escorted by Bolivarian National Armed Forces boats and planes to welcome them in and thank the Iranian people for their solidarity and co-operation,” Venezuelan Defence Minister Gen Vladimir Padrino said on state television on Tuesday.

A force of US vessels, including Navy destroyers and other combat ships, is currently patrolling the Caribbean on a drug interdiction mission.

There has been no direct US communication that there are any plans to intercept the Iranian ­tankers.

However, earlier this week a Reuters report stated that in an alert that appeared aimed squarely at Iran, the US Navy issued a warning on Tuesday to mariners in the Gulf to stay 100 metres away from US warships or risk being “interpreted as a threat and subject to lawful defensive measures”.

It stated the notice to mariners, which was first reported by Reuters, follows Trump’s threat last month to fire on any Iranian ships that harass Navy vessels.

“Armed vessels approaching within 100 metres of a US naval vessel may be interpreted as a threat”, according to the text of the notice.

I hope our competent leaders interpret that english properly. It seems clear to me but......we go c

They are lawyers, they will find the loop hole as they see fit.

Risk/ reward ratio for defying the US not making sense...no matter how much legal acrobatics one might think they know...

[De Dragon]

They are lawyers, they will find the loop hole as they see fit.

If they were smart lawyers
Basically the US just took away the play(?) dotish card for JUHN Scarfy, Goebbels and Backdoor. Lemme see if they will take chain up from Arse Wide Shut Roget, and non-entities Abdullah and Shah. Then again these three morons quite capable of being dotish without chain up.

The first #Iran tanker heading to #Venezuela is now less than 50 nautical miles south of #Barbados and is heading towards the territorial waters of #TrinidadandTobago. As I predicted, there has been no interference from #USNavy

PC-23 Yekuana of the BOLIVARIAN NAVY will rendezvous with the Iranian oil tanker Fortune in a few hours near Tobago to escort him to the Venezuelan EEZ. Kenneddy did not get cold with the Soviets and made them return to Cuba. What will Trump do in the tanker crisis?

Trump isn't doing sheit at the moment due to his domestic issues, but then again it may be a welcome distraction for him to manufacture a little sideshow for distraction purposes.
