Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar is demanding an unequivocal retraction and apology from the Trinidad Express newspaper following the publication of an article she claimed damaged her character.
A 12-page pre-action letter sent by her lawyers to the newspaper claimed a front page article on March 27 entitled “Neighbours Flee", was libelous and damaging to her character.
The article stated that the Prime Minister's neighbour, Leon Achilleous, had put up his house for sale because of noise disturbances and the construction of a chain-link fence at her private residence in south Trinidad.
The Prime Minister, through her attorneys, reportedly said there was no noise coming from her private residence, and the construction of the chain-link fence was to protect and to prevent any possible harm to the Achilleous children.
