of the Police officers she allegedly attacked.

P.c. James Howard, one of the officers who arrested Ms Allaire on suspicion of drunk driving, is suing her for "a number of claims''.

Ms Allaire, 37, yesterday resigned from her job as senior vice president and corporate actuary at Centre Solutions after she was accused of making racial slurs at the officers.

And top lawyer Tim Marshall revealed he was representing a Policeman who claimed he was victimised by Ms Allaire in the incident.

Ms Allaire, said to be at home in Canada last night, pleaded guilty to obstructing Police, destroying a Police uniform, using offensive words and refusing to take a breath test.

She was fined $950 and banned from driving for a year after being pulled over on Middle Road, Devonshire, on December 12.

Ms Allaire was also said to have accused Police of "hating her'' because she was Canadian and a millionaire.

Her court case was told she punched a woman officer in the breast, tearing the shirt from her Police uniform.

But Mr. Marshall revealed last night he had taken advice from another officer who was involved in the incident.

He told The Royal Gazette : "Prior to receiving word of Ms Allaire's resignation, we put her on notice that our client, Mr. James Howard, was to pursue a number of claims against her.

"We are not at liberty to discuss the particulars of those claims at this stage.'' On Tuesday night, Mr. Marshall called for tighter laws to penalise racial discrimination while speaking to a forum organised by the Commission for Unity and Racial Equality.

He said section 200 (a) of the Criminal Code, which deals with racial comments, only applied to insults made over a telecommunications system and not remarks made in the open.

"It's a complete nonsense. It's a loophole which needs to be addressed by the legislature upon taking advice from the Attorney General's Chambers.'' Centre Re VP resigns It is understood the legal flaw does not allow a fresh criminal complaint to be made against Ms Allaire.

But Mr. Marshall said his client still intended to pursue civil action.

Shadow Home Affairs Minister Alex Scott said the PLP would address the matter if they won power at the election.

And he accused Government of "double standards'', and leaving bosses at Centre Solutions to deal with the controversy internally.

Mr. Scott added: "Certainly we need to have teeth in our human rights legislation. That's always been the lament of the Opposition.

"The reason it doesn't have teeth is manifested in the fact that Government was abhorrently silent on this whole matter.

"Even though the company has come to the wicket and the individual has done the honourable thing and elected to excuse herself from the community, the Government has decided not to get involved.'' Centre Solutions president David Brown, announcing the resignation, said there were "a number of behaviours which we do not condone, including those contained in the charges against Christiane''.

He added: "Those who have known and worked closely with Christiane over the last five years believe that this regrettable incident is not representative of Christiane's character.

"Christiane has made significant contributions, both to the success of our company and to the personal success of its employees.

"However, under the circumstances and in light of our responsibilities as a corporate citizen, we understand and agree with her decision to leave the company.'' COURTS CTS
