Reports reaching our newsroom are that a defense attorney was escorted by police officers yesterday to the offices of the Sugar Industries Control Board. They were there to 'crowfoot' the organization's assets.
Viewers may know that the Board, also known as the SICB, is one of the regulators of the Sugar Industry in the north. We understand that Dr. Carlos Itza, one of the SICB's former employees sued them in the Supreme Court for failing to fully compensate him. Dr. Itza once served as the Chairman of the Sugar Cane Production Committee.
He asserted that he was not paid $23,000 he was due after his contract with the SICB expired. Sources tell us that the SICB did not send any legal representation to court to mount a defence against the lawsuit - so a default judgement was entered.
As viewers are aware, the crow-footing of assets is a process that the court goes through to satisfy a judgment debt.
