An Appeal Court Wednesday ordered the former chairman of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP), Austin Jack Warner, to pay a former member of the party more than TT$600,000 (One TT dollar=US$0.16 cents) in compensation over defamatory remarks he made.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Justice Peter Jamadar, Gregory Smith and Prakash Moosai in a 73-page ruling said that Warner, a former government minister an international football executive, had to pay TT$650,000 to Faaiq Mohammed, a former councillor of the Chaguanas Borough, in Central Tr8inidad,.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Warner was ordered by the High Court to pay Mohammed TT$220,000 after Mohammed had successfully that he had been defamed by statements made by Warner, who had accused him of accepting a bribe when he voted for in support of councillor of the United National Congress (UNC) for the post of presiding officer during the corporation\u2019s first meeting that year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Mohammed had appealed the High Court award and the Court of Appeal in increase the quantum also said that interest would be added from the date Mohammed filed his claim.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Court of Appeal had found the conduct of Warner, who was not present in Court, to be \u201coppressive,\u201d adding \u201cit was outrageous by any standards, even given the permissiveness of the local political gayelle. \u201cIt was oppressive. It was intended to both \u2018advantage\u2019 the appellant, and gain political advantage for the respondent,\u201d the Appeal Court noted.<\/p>\n

Mohammed said he was immediately expelled from the ILP by Warner.\u00a0 During the High Court trial, Warner admitted defaming Mohammed and accepted liability.<\/p>
