…as marshals move to execute High Court order
…managers, security guards arrested
…bank settles $59M payment
It was high drama outside New Building Society (NBS) as attempts to execute a High Court order on the entity’s properties resulted in a standoff between lawyers, bank officials and the Police. Lawyers for litigant Maurice Arjoon, accompanied by High Court Marshals, descended on New Building Society to levy for a $59M court awarded judgement. What followed after was a protracted standoff from out of a movie, a Police officer, a Court Marshal and civilians were locked in the banking institution.
This situation necessitated the involvement of Deputy Commander of ‘A’ Division and Senior Superintendent of Police, Wendell Blanhum, as well as other high-ranking Police ranks.
