Luxury condos outside of scope of Colman probe

A media release from the Clico/HCU probe has noted that the purchase of luxury condos by partners in Pricewaterhouse Coopers is outside the terms of reference of the commission.

The release from Secretary to the inquiry Judith Gonzalez was in response to a newspaper story. 

The release stated:

"The attention of Sir Anthony Colman, Commissioner in the CLICO/HCU Enquiry, has been drawn to a report in today’s (Wednesday) Newsday that he sought legal advice and yesterday called a meeting of counsel to the Enquiry for the purpose of discussing issues raised by disclosures relating to the ownership by partners in Pricewaterhouse Coopers of certain apartments in a development built by a subsidiary of CLF. This article described the Commissioner as currently in Singapore.

"The Commissioner wishes to make it clear that he has not called a meeting of counsel or arranged a teleconference to discuss this matter. Nor is he in Singapore. He does not consider the purchase of these properties as conduct falling within the Terms of Reference of the Enquiry and will not be investigating it."
