Wednesday 10/11/99 COURT SUMMONS JEGGAN GREY-JOHNSON OVER JUDGEMENT DEBT The protracted legal battle between music producer Elie Nachif and artiste Jeggan Grey-Johnson aka JGJ, over a D93,000 judgement debt took a new dimension at the high court Monday as the case was heard in camera. According to the Daily Observer newspaper report, the defence counsel, Bola Carrol, asked presiding judge, Justice Mam Yassin Sey, to stand down the case for hearing in chambers, stating that the matter was confidential. The prosecution counsel, Emmanuel Chime, is claiming that in spite of the july 13 judgement order, Mr Grey-Johnson did not make any attempt to settle the D80,000 debt and the 12 percent interest on the original sum, even though, he has the means of liquidating the debt. Mr Nachif, in his proof of Jeggan’s reluctance to pay him, told the court that he received a telephone call from Mr Johnson in which he told him, "Elie, you have received an empty judgement, I will never pay you this money," and allegedly banged the telephone. Mr Nachif said he was aware that Mr Grey-Johnson was gainfully employed as editor-in-chief of Spectator magazine and that he was about to travel to the United States to promote his new album. Judgement debtor, Mr Grey-Johnson, who was seen in chambers at the start of the hearing, was missing but reappeared at the end of the hearing. The case was adjourned to November 15. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
