2.12 Connétable D.J. Murphy of Grouville of the Chief Minister regarding the involvement
of the members of the Waterfront Enterprise Board or members of staff (past or
present) in the recent court case in Dublin between Harcourt and Ivor Fitzpatrick: Would the Chief Minister inform the Assembly whether any Waterfront Enterprise Board (W.E.B.) members or members of staff past or present were invited to give evidence in the court case which has taken place in Dublin between Harcourt and Ivor Fitzpatrick?
Senator F.H. Walker (The Chief Minister):
Yes, it is my understanding that the former managing director of the Waterfront Enterprise Board Limited was asked to give evidence by both the plaintiffs and the defendants but that he declined to participate for either side. The current managing director of the Waterfront Enterprise Board was asked to provide evidence by Harcourt and provided Harcourt with a witness statement based on records held at W.E.B's offices. The developer has verbally informed W.E.B that they have reached a settlement of this case. W.E.B. is unaware of the terms and conditions of the settlement. W.E.B. understands that a confidentiality condition was imposed by the court.
2.12.1 The Connétable of Grouville :
Can the Minister tell us the circumstances of the ex-managing director W.E.B. refusing?
Senator F.H. Walker :
No, I cannot, that, of course, was a matter for him personally. He was no longer directly connected with States employment and clearly has taken his own decision as he is now a private citizen.
