Port-of-Spain: The Commisison of Inquiry into the collapse of CL Financial will continue as planned although former chairman of Lawrence Duprey does not want to be called as a witness.
Duprey was seeking to have the inquiry stopped last week but has changed his mind.
The inquiry started today and Duprey's attorney British Queen's Counsel Andrew Mitchell told the enquiry's chairman Sir Anthony Colman the decision by Duprey could have been avoided if the Central Bank has just waited.
However in response, attorney for the Clico Policyholders, Lynette Seebaran-Suite said Duprey's bid to not give evidence is unacceptable.
Counsel for the Commission of Inquiry, Peter Carter also voiced his objection to Duprey's move.
