MR. Brian Tiwarie, Managing Director BK International, has filed a lawsuit for libel against Mr. Walter Willis, Technical Adviser to the Minister of Public Works, claiming damages in excess of $200M, for a letter written by Mr. Willis on July 18, accusing Mr. Tiwarie of ‘’fraudulent” practices. In his letter to Mr. Tiwarie, Mr. Willis has accused Mr. Tiwarie of producing fraudulent results  of Surface Water Samples, when in fact  Mr. Tiwarie  had obtained  those results  lawfully  from the Institute of Applied Science and Technology.
In his summons filed in the Supreme Court Registry yesterday, Mr. Tiwarie claims that the  libelous statement  reflects on the honesty, reputation, management and operations of the conduct of his business; and has affected  him  in the conduct of his affairs  and business, and is  reasonably calculated   to disparage  him in his business operations and to cause  him financial loss  and damage.
In his writ filed by Mr. Robert R. Ramcharran, Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Tiwarie  is further contending  that the letter  conveys the meaning  that Mr. Tiwarie carries on his business in a deceitful, crooked,  corrupt, dishonest, illegal and improper manner, and is calculated to reflect on the business reputation  of Mr. Tiwarie.
As a result of the defamatory statement, Mr. Tiwarie claims that he has suffered irreparable loss and damage; and in addition to his claim in excess of $200M, Mr. Tiwarie is also claiming aggravated and exemplary damages against Mr. Walter Willis.
