Journalist Miguel Fevrier announced Wednesday that Minister for Economic Development Guy Joseph, has filed a defamation claim against him and his employer MBC Television. Following a June 16 report by MBC concerning the ‘First Steps Pre- School’ in Sarrot, Joseph indicated that he would be taking legal action against the company. In letter to MBC on June 17, Joseph’s legal representation Amicus Legal, argued that the story amounted to “criminal libel” and called on the television station to issue a retraction.
MBC did not retract the story, and on July 21 Joseph and Fevrier clashed outside Parliament building, after Fevrier questioned the minister about the pre-school.
Speaking on his show Offscript on Wednesday, Fevrier provided an update on the situation: “Guy Joseph has filed a claim. You know all the times he was saying that there’s a matter before the courts, there wasn’t. He has finally filed a claim. A defamation; a claim against me, and a claim against MBC. I’m not going to show it to you really but I’m in possession of it and until my lawyers have taken a look at it and of course we file the appropriate response, I have placed it in the appropriate folder for filing.”
He added, “And I have one more thing to say on that matter: Mr. Minister, I’ll see you in court!”
