Thursday 22nd October 2009, St. George's Grenada: The High court in Grenada indicated to Mr. Anslem Clouden, the lawyer for George Worme, Grenada Today Ltd and others that they must pay Dr. Keith Mitchell EC$191,000 plus costs by Tuesday 27th October 2009, and that if the monies are not paid by then, the Court would proceed to give a winding up Order and the Company will be liquidated.
The matter which came up before High Court No. 1, was an Application by Petitioner, Former Prime Minister Dr. the Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell for an Order that the Company publishing the Grenada Today Newspaper be wound up or liquidated on the grounds that it cannot pay its Judgment debt owing to Dr. Mitchell.
The background to the Application is that The Grenada Today newspaper published in 2001 a letter written by Steve Fassihi which called the then Prime Minister Mitchell corrupt, a criminal and incompetent.
Mitchell sued George Worme and the newspaper company, and a Judgment was handed down in 2003 awarding Dr. Mitchell $120,000.00. The award was appealed and the Court of Appeal increased it in 2004 to $191,000.00, inclusive of Costs.
To date George Worme and his Company have refused to pay a penny towards the liquidation of the debt; and so, Dr. Mitchell applied to the Court for the winding up of the Company. Worme is not above the law, neither does he have a license to libel anyone. He must pay or the Company must be liquidated.
Mrs. Winnifred Duncan-Phillip was the lead Counsel for Dr. Mitchell and Mr. Dwight Horsford appeared in association with her.
Keith you so dam ugly, you actually look like a baboon drinking vinegar. I'm glad Grenada Today was involved in getting your ugly bacskide out. I will never ever vote for you or your party in the future. You are finished

some of us actually wonder if Keith Mitchel received any monies from Hamilton due to the land deal where Hamiltom was award all this free land in exchange for so called Grenada's exposure. We wonder how much money actually changed hands and how much the animal got while Grenada actually receivel nill.

This is why Grenada is a third world "crap shoot." It lacks any independent entity and system of individual rights and freedoms. How can Keith Mitchell be awarded a settlement of this sum? For what? How was the story libelous? The arrogance of this man is alarming! His pursuit of vengeance mirrors that of Adolf Hitler! We need to follow in the footsteps of St.Vincent and create a new Constitution that awards citizens undeniable rights and liberty, especially the press. Because I am afraid if this continues Grenada will become the laughing stock of the west. The fact that Keith Mitchell is a corrupt, criminal is proven fact. He admitted it himself. So how can this be libelous? This is not the view only shared by Worme, this is the view shared by the majority of Grenadians. If Grenada is too prosper and grow. If it is to encourage investment and opportunity, such violations of freedoms cannot exist. As an independent nation, we need to break free from English common law and enact a system where democracy will flourish. Where folks like Keith Mitchell can never manipulate the system of laws for personal vengeance. Grenada's weakness shows as bright as the sun. Her vulnerability is out there for the world to see. Her weak court system and weak laws will ensure that she remains stricken by poverty and robbed of progress.
