Bridgetown.
Leroy Parris, the former executive chairman of CLICO Holdings (Barbados), has taken legal action against the Barbados Labour Party (BLP), the Nation Publishing Company publishers of the Nation Newspaper and the Barbados Advocate over ads publish in the two newspapers during the general elections early this year.
Parris is seeking punitive damages from the High Court of Barbados, claiming he was defamed in several newspaper ads which appeared in the Barbados Advocate and the Nation showing him with Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler and lawyer Hal Gollop.
The picture was published on February 10, after the three were caught on camera at a Democratic Labour Party (DLP) mass meeting in The Ivy, St Michael.
A few days later it was used as part of a paid political advertisment by the BLP with words with the slogan Why You Won't Get Justice From The DLP On CLICO.
