that island with pay-out being made to Barbadian policy holders in phase one and other policy holders in phase two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris explained that the challenge is based on what appears to be an erroneous presumption in the court ruling that treated CLICO offices in Eastern Caribbean countries as subsidiaries, when in fact, they were branches which places their policyholders on equal footing as those in Barbados.
