Fiji Broadcasting Corporation and its CEO Riyaz Sayed-Khaiyum who have sued the Fiji Labour Party for defamation for an online post has agreed to pay for the amendments to its claim.
The matter was called before High Court Master Vishwa Sharma this morning.
FBC’s lawyer Emmanuel Narayan had earlier informed the court that FBC would like to amend its claim due to the Fiji Labour Party allegedly making further defamatory claims on its Facebook page.
FBC and Riyaz Sayed‑Khaiyum have been given 14 days to pay $750 to the Fiji Labour Party for the amendments.
It alleged that the facebook post by FLP claimed that FBC was unable to service its loan of about $21million and that the Chief Executive Officer of FBC had to turn to the Attorney General to bail him out of the mess and the taxpayers got butchered in the process, as an easy way was found to settle the matter.
The case has been adjourned to 9th August for mention.
