JONES, J.

[I] His words slowed to suggest painstaking sincerity, John Gaynor once again faced his

accusers. In this case, though, it was not he but his accusers that were on trial. Some

seven years ago, February 8, 1998, he was arrested and charged on an indictment with

larceny of telephones belonging to his employer, Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited. As a

result of these charges, he was dismissed from liis employment as a cable technician with

the company, and later tried and convicted of the charge before the Resident Magistrate's

Court for the Parish of St Catherine. His conviction was afterwards overturned on appeal.

[2] So it is then, that John Gaynor brought an actionin this court against Cable & Wireless

Jamaica Limited, Sl~perintendentG .C. Grant, and the Attorney General of Jamaica claim
