Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he remains undefeated in defamation cases and is prepared to pursue further legal action against political opponents.

Speaking on his weekly radio programme, Mr Browne discussed an ongoing lawsuit linked to claims surrounding the sale of the super-yacht Alfa Nero. Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan said the case had encountered a procedural issue, as one defendant, Martin De Luca, had not been properly served legal documents.

Mr Astaphan explained that while the law firm involved was correctly served, service on Mr De Luca must be repeated to meet legal requirements.

Mr Browne also signalled possible legal action against former opposition leader Harold Lovell, saying he intended to hold individuals accountable for defamatory statements. He added that any damages awarded would be donated.

The prime minister said his approach was aimed at deterring false claims and protecting reputations, arguing that individuals with resources should face financial consequences for defamation.

He cited a previous case involving former prime minister Baldwin Spencer, who paid $30,000 in damages, which Mr Browne said he donated. He also referred to a separate dispute with Vere Bird III, which was dismissed after the court found the statements in question to be true.

Mr Browne said truth remained the strongest defence in such matters and urged public figures to exercise caution in their statements.

“We’ve never lost a case… just by standing on the truth,” he said.
