ST GEORGE’S, Grenada – On May 17, 2024, the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the High Court of Grenada delivered a judgement against the government of Grenada, ruling in favour of Oleg Firer in a case of unlawful recall as ambassador of Grenada.
The court unequivocally declared that Firer’s removal from his ambassadorial post, without presenting specific allegations of alleged impropriety or allowing him the opportunity to respond, was a clear breach of his rights to procedural fairness.
High Court Judge Raulston L.A. Glasgow, stated:
“I find that Mr Firer’s recall without being told of these allegations or being afforded the opportunity to be heard was unfair and unlawful in the circumstances of this particular case, on the basis that the recall was done without the required procedural fairness.”
Consequently, the court awarded Firer $60,000 in damages.
