Harnarine wants court to stop HCU commission

Harry Harnarine went to court Tuesday to try to block the enquiry into the affairs of the Hindu Credit Union Co-operative Society (HCU).

Lawyers representing the HCU president filed a lawsuit to stop the enquiry and to have a judicial review of the decision by President George Maxwell Richards to appoint Sir Anthony Coleman, QC, as commissioner.

Harinarine is claiming that the commission of enquiry is “ultra vires, null and void and of no effect.”

In addition the lawsuit claims that the probe is politically- motivated and “is illegal and unlawful, being irrational, procedurally unfair and oppressive.”

His court documents claim that the commission is an abuse of process and an interference with the administration of justice.

On November 17, 2010, the President appointed a commission of enquiry to look into failure of the HCU, along with CL Financial Ltd, Colonial Life Insurance Co (Trinidad) Ltd, Clico Investment Bank, British American Insurance Co (Trinidad) Ltd and Caribbean Money Market Brokers Ltd.
