The case of two female police officers who are suing the police service for sexual harassment and discrimination has been listed for trial later this year.As revealed by The Royal Gazette in October, Pc Susann DeSilva and Sergeant Eulene Nurse are suing over what their lawyer Amanda Mochrie described at that time as “a very serious claim” that also involves allegations of misfeasance in public office and breach of their human and constitutional rights.Ms Mochrie further stated in October that the pair have “very substantial claims for personal injury”. However, she has declined to give any details about the case before it goes to trial.Pc DeSilva and Sgt Nurse name several current and former senior officers in their writ, which was filed in October 2010 according to information from the Supreme Court Registry.The parties are Police Commissioner Michael DeSilva who is Pc DeSilva’s ex husband plus former Commissioner George Jackson, Assistant Commissioner Bryan Bell, former Assistant Commissioner Carlton Adams, Superintendent James Howard, former Superintendent Randolph Liverpool and Pc Tavoris Douglas. The writ is also against the Attorney General.The information available at the Registry does not specify how the claim relates to each of the individuals named, and there have been no public hearings in the case as yet.Asked for an update after a preliminary hearing in Puisne Judge Ian Kawaley’s chambers on Thursday, Ms Mochrie said her clients “are extremely happy that, following a directions hearing, their case will be listed for a three-week trial after August this year”.The two officers have been off work for around two-and-a-half years as a result of the situation that sparked their claims, and are currently on sick leave.Ms Mochrie added: “Eulene Nurse and Susann DeSilva are very happy, both for themselves and other members of the police service, that their claims for misfeasance in public office, sexual harassment, discrimination and breach of their constitutional rights against various police officers, will be finally resolved this year.”Last August, Mr DeSilva issued a Supreme Court summons against Pc DeSilva and Sgt Nurse, complaining they had refused to let him see their medical records. Ms Mochrie said in October she believed it was an attempt to intimidate her clients over their claims and she would be asking that the Commissioner pay their costs over his “unnecessary” action.Asked about the outcome on Friday, Ms Mochrie said the Attorney General had been ordered to pay her clients “nominal” costs on behalf of the Commissioner, and those have been paid.Delroy Duncan, the managing partner of the firm where she works, Trott and Duncan, will conduct the trial. Mr Duncan is well known for his interest in constitutional cases.Ms Mochrie said he would be conducting the trial “because of the very serious constitutional implications for government employees” involved.
