the Court gave leave for Isaac to bring a case against Benjamin and Browne, the two Defendants appealed the decision and lost, twice, at the Court of Appeal and subsequently took the matter to the Privy Council in London.<\/p>\n<p>The final appellate court upheld the lower courts\u2019 decisions in May 2018, but the matter languished in the High Court until late 2019 when a trial date of March 20, 2020, was set.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Court was closed that month on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the matter was not revived until the following year.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the High Court ordered the parties to mediation, which proved to be a non-starter, and so the matter went before Justice Drysdale in early 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOURCE: Real News<\/strong><\/p>\n<div
