JACK WARNER yesterday appeared before the High Court after being ordered by a judge back in April to be present for the hearing of the $1.2 million lawsuit brought against him.
Warner arrived at the San Fernando Supreme Court at 9 a.m.
At the last hearing five months ago, Warner was a no-show, causing Justice Frank Seepersad to query his absence. Attorney Derrick Balliram, who appeared on Warner’s behalf, apologised, but Seepersad said his court appearance should take precedence and ordered that Warner be in court the next time the matter was called.
Warner, a former special adviser to the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) and chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), is being sued by his former personal assistant, Imamuddin Baksh, who is claiming Warner failed to pay a $1,262,413 debt.
It is alleged Warner instructed Baksh, managing director of Graphix Advantage Ltd, to supply signs for the 2010 FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup, hosted in Trinidad and Tobago.
Baksh alleged there was a promise to pay with funds from the LOC.
He claimed delivery notes for the signs were signed by authorised servants or agents of the TTFF and Warner. The invoices, it is claimed, totalled $1,360,968.
On November 10 of that year, Baksh said he was paid $98,555—the amount claimed on one invoice for 59 banners. The sum was paid by a cheque drawn on an account in the name of LOC South Africa 2010 Ltd, court documents state.
Baksh filed legal action against Warner and TTFF in October 2012.
Yesterday, Seepersad was told the LOC is yet to be served with documents to have it appear as part of the proceedings.
Leave has been granted by the court, as the result of an application by Baksh, for the LOC to be included in the matter.
Baksh was yesterday represented by attorney Sastri Maharaj, who appeared on behalf of senior counsel Hendrickson Seunath. Balliram appeared alongside attorney Om Lalla on Warner’s behalf.
Both Warner and the TTFF have responded in signed affidavits, denying the claims made by Baksh.
Seepersad adjourned the matter to October 30 for LOC to be served.
As Warner left the court, several people across the street, outside the San Fernando Magistrates’ Court, called out to him. He shouted “Keep the faith.”

ILP to open $7m headquarters in Chaguanas

THE Independent Liberal Party (ILP) will formally open headquarters worth $7 million in Chaguanas tomorrow.
This was announced by the party’s interim leader Jack Warner on Wednesday night at a rally in Point Fortin. Warner said the cost of the building located at Mulchan-Seuchan Road was $7m.
On Sunday, the ILP will be having its “introduction of candidates” rally at a place called Endeavour Lands, east of Medford Gas station in Chaguanas.
Warner said Endeavour Lands will be the party’s “permanent home for rallies.”
Warner told the Express yesterday that the building for the headquarters was purchased about six weeks ago, and would be open 24 hours a day until the November 21 local government election.
He said the land was being leased from a private owner, since the ILP wanted its own location to hold its rallies away from the People’s National Movement and United National Congress.
The ILP is gearing up for the local government elections and has already started campaigning with rallies nationwide.
Austin “SuperBlue” Lyons was the main performer for the Point Fortin rally.
Warner also claimed Works and Infrastructure Minister Dr Surujrattan Rambachan gave instructions to have Priority Bus Route (PBR) passes recommended by Warner to be taken away.
He said on Wednesday morning, some 30 police officers were on the PBR under instructions from the government minister seizing the passes.
When he was Minister of Works and Infrastructure, Warner said he approved PBR passes for several persons living along the PBR. He said when he was moved to the Ministry of National Security, the then Minister of Works Emmanuel George approved the names on Warner’s list for passes.
Warner said: “George approved all the passes which I had given. Rambachan became minister last month officially and Rambachan made a list of persons who have been given PBR passes bus route passes. And he gave to about 30 policemen this morning and told those policemen to stop all the cars and ask them what are their names and if their names are on the list to take back the pass. As minister of national security I never gave any policeman instructions, no minister should give police officers instructions.”
On the monitor at the meeting, Warner showed the police officers on the PBR. The officers showed a list to the cameraman that included the names of Maureen Warner, Warner’s wife and Sunil Ramjitsingh, his communication’s officer.
Warner also promised the people of Point Fortin better representation. Before the rally, Warner led a motorcade throughout the borough.

Why should Minister vehicles be equipped with sirens and blue lights?

Meem hearing anyone talk about that scn. Granted that meem read papers for the weekend but imo that was good neutralisation by the pp on the contentious children's hospital issue.

Wasn't "works & transport" split after reshuffle into works & infrastructure, and transport then went on it's own? Jack wasn't the initial Minister of Works & Transport?

pioneer wrote:sigh...was waiting for UML to come an counter-cyak but...the Ministry of Works and Transport was split around June 2011 to the Ministry of Works & Infrastructure, and Ministry of Transport.
Sirens and lights had to be approved by the Ministry of National Security...as they were using official Police sirens and lights.
Jack was NOT in nat sec back then...
and would have avoided further embarrassment.....i guess not

Come again.
applied to the transport commissioner Ruben Cato for permission to install a siren and two strobe lights in the vehicle.
