MAGISTRATE Fay Mc Gusty has dismissed a charge made out against Lloyd Singh, CEO of the International Pharmaceutical Agency (IPA) at Camp Street, Georgetown, wherein he was accused of breaching the Labour Ordinance by not paying the proper wage to an employee.

Singh had been charged with breaching the Labour Act by having failed to pay to Anthony Hazel the sum of $120,000, being wage or salary owed to him on a monthly basis.

The case was dismissed last Thursday when defence counsel Mr. Madan Kissoon, representing Singh, took a preliminary point, contending that the matter was not properly before the court. The magistrate, agreeing with contention of counsel, found there was a procedural irregularity in the matter, and dismissed the charge against Singh.
