Tony Cozier suing WICB boss

(Barbados Nation) Tony Cozier, the voice of Caribbean cricket, is suing president of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Whycliffe “Dave”Cameron for defamation.

Cozier, an icon of broadcast cricket commentary for more than 50 years, is headed to court and seeking damages for defamation over words used by Cameron last May 22 during a meeting at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies.

Cozier, 75, full name Winston Anthony Lloyd Cozier, has engaged the services of Queen’s Counsel Peter Symmonds.

At that meeting last May, Cameron is purported to have said: “There is no ban on Mr Cozier. The challenge is Mr Cozier has gotten to an age – and everyone needs to agree, that he is not actually seeing very well anymore. And we are being very, very frank about that.

That agree that the alleged remark made by Mr. Camerion is of poor taste. However, I am wondering where is the evidence of defamation in this instance, maybe I am not recognizing it because I am not versed in the intricacies of the law.

dont you have a law degree too..along with the one in science ::confused::

dat is more than defamation.  it is utter stupidity..that of an unduly pompous man, Skameron, fully invested by his own 'power', totally confident he has the world up a tree so much so he can say any dam condescending thing he wants to say, unconscious of disparagement of others.

the dumb skunt prolly did not even realize the effect and nature of what he was saying at the time he said it.  he will however pay for it..likely very dearly too ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
