The Supreme Court had awarded Parchment, 37-year-old peddler of Old Harbour Bay, St. Catherine, $500,000 for exemplary damages but the Court of Appeal reduced the amount to $100,000. Mrs. Justice Zaila McCalla had ordered the Government in June 2002 to pay Parchment $2.2 million with interest in damages which included $500,000 for exemplary damages. Mr. Samuels told The Weekly Gleaner that since the award was made in Parchment's favour in June 2002, he had written to the Attorney-General's Department seeking to get even a portion of the award for Parchment but was not successful. He said Parchment was suffering severe financial hardship.
