PARAMARIBO — The Court of Justice in Suriname has upheld a lower court ruling regarding the legal dispute between Wendy Jap-A-Joe, the former director of the Telecommunications Authority Suriname (TAS), the state, and the TAS supervisory board. In a decision issued on Friday, the Court of Justice confirmed the judgment previously delivered by cantonal judge Robert Praag on Monday, while providing additional legal grounds for the ruling. The court also ordered Jap-A-Joe to cover the legal costs incurred during the appeal process. According to the court’s communications unit, Jap-A-Joe must pay SRD 9,000 to the state and the supervisory board, as well as an additional SRD 9,000 to the TAS. The legal proceedings were initiated by Jap-A-Joe, represented by attorney Chandra Algoe, who sought to continue her duties as director despite her employment contract having expired on October 20. In response, the TAS filed a counter-claim requesting that the court prohibit Jap-A-Joe from performing any actions on behalf of the authority. In his initial ruling on Monday, Judge Praag rejected Jap-A-Joe’s claims and granted the requests submitted by the supervisory board. The judge ordered Jap-A-Joe to vacate the TAS premises and prohibited her from re-entering the building. Furthermore, she was ordered to pay the legal costs associated with the summary proceedings.
