St Vincent Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves has filed a writ in the High Court seeking damages from Opposition Leader Arnhim Eustace over statements he allegedly made during a 15-day period last month.Attorneys for the Prime Minister said that the slanderous statements were made “on each and every day between 9th and 24th February”.
Gonzales is seeking “aggravated damages for slander”. His claim states that the statements were repeated in paid ads broadcast by the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) "on the instructions and/or directives of the defendant amongst others".
He is also contending that the offending statements were made at a news conference held on February 17.
The Prime Minister wants the courts to issue an injunction preventing Eustace or his represenattives from further "speaking or publishing and or causing the publication" of the defamatory words.
