Police Federation Chairman Corporal Rohan James has lost his bid to be re-instated with immediate effect, following his interdiction by the police high command.
Corporal James will however receive 99% of his salary, instead of the two thirds that is paid to persons on interdiction.
In a decision this morning, Supreme Court judge Justice Carolyn Tie Powell ruled in favour of the arguments that were advanced by ACP Andrew Lewis, on behalf of the police high command, through his attorneys, Peter Champagnie, Neco Pagon and Richard Lynch.
At the outset, Champagnie and his team indicated that their client had no objection to the federation chairman’s disciplinary hearing being put on hold, pending his bid to be allowed to pursue judicial review, but there should be no re-instatement.
