A foreign policewoman is suing Commissioner Michael DeSilva over his decision to discharge her from the Bermuda Police Service.According to a writ filed at the Supreme Court Registry, Octavia Ennis was terminated during her probationary period under the Police (Conditions and Service) Order 2002 on the basis she was “unlikely to become an efficient member” of the service. Only non-Bermudian officers have to serve a three-year probationary period.Ms Ennis filed a writ against Mr DeSilva at the Supreme Court on April 11 challenging his decision, which was made earlier this year. The writ does not state where she is from.She is represented by Richard Horseman of law firm Wakefield Quin, who declined a request for comment on the case. A Police spokesman also declined to comment, beyond stating: “The matter between the Commissioner of Police and Octavia Ennis is a civil one that may eventually end up before a judge. Accordingly, the Commissioner does not wish to prejudice any future proceedings by making any public comments at this time.”A court date has yet to be fixed for a hearing. The case is the second recently where Mr DeSilva has faced court action from non-Bermudian police officers. He was sued in Supreme Court last year by five policemen from the Caribbean who lost their jobs just two days before they were to become permanent officers with full pension rights.Both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal ordered Mr DeSilva to reinstate the officers, who had served for almost ten years.The Court of Appeal stated the decision was “conspicuously unfair” and concluded that Mr DeSilva breached a promise his predecessor George Jackson made to the men, and failed to properly explain his reasons for not renewing their contracts.The court said he failed to justify a claim that his decision was based on the officers’ poor work performance.
