Justice Christopher Blackman, who is also a retired Appeals Court Judge, was this evening responding to the verdict which was handed down to Inniss by Judge Kiyo Matsumoto today in the Eastern District Court of New York.

A former manager lost a claim before the Employment Rights Tribunal (ERT) yesterday that he was unfairly dismissed on reaching age 65, but he did not walk away empty-handed.
Norman Grant brought the action against the Barbados Beach Club for terminating his employment on October 30, 2017, ten days after he reached his 65th birthday.
Grant worked for the club from 1996 to 2009 when he resigned to take up other employment. In 2010, he was re-employed in the position of duty manager with a $5 000 a month salary on an oral contract.
