Major Basil Jarrett says his legal battle with Jamaica College will not adversely impact his position as Director of Communications at the Major Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Agency.

His assurance comes after the Appellate Court yesterday upheld what was essentially the institution’s appeal to be allowed to reinstate a lawsuit against him, over the sale of school uniforms.

The matter had been thrown out last year by the Supreme Court which ruled that the school principal Wayne Robinson – the claimant – did not have the right to bring an action to court.

Mr. Robinson’s legal council then applied for leave to appeal the Supreme Court’s decision.

Following yesterday’s reinstatement of the lawsuit, the school said its court action demanding that Major Jarrett, the former Jamaica College Old Boys’ Association President, give an account for funds collected on behalf of the school will continue.

Major Jarrett has denied any wrongdoing and has described the lawsuit as vindictive and vexatious.

Speaking with IRIE FM News yesterday, he sought to assure that the legal saga will not call into question his position at the anti-corruption agency.
