From the New National Party (NNP) 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.
