[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he former Chief Executive Officer of Invest Saint Lucia, Mr. McHale Andrew, has lost his wrongful dismissal suit against the government entity. He was employed by the previous administration in 2012 and, last May, his contract was not renewed.
The contract had a clause that stated: “The employee may apply for a renewal of this contract by submitting a written request to the chairman of ISL no later than three months prior to the end of this contract. Invest Saint Lucia may renew this contract upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon.”
According to a high court judgment issued this week by Justice Godfrey Smith SC, the defendant’s application was that “the claimant’s fixed claim be struck out on the grounds that (1) the defendants are not proper parties to the claim; (2) the claim should have been brought by private law proceedings and not as a claim for administrative relief under Part 56 of the CPR 200; and (3) that the claimant’s application for specific disclosure be denied.”
After citing several relevant precedents, the judge concluded in favour of ISL. No costs were ordered.
