KINGSTON, Jamaica – Professor Brendan Bain on Tuesday closed his case after seven days’ testimony from various witnesses.

One witness for the claimant, Shawn Wenzel – an information technology consultant – testified that the articles written about Bain’s termination by the University of the West Indies (UWI) and subsequent demonstrations in his favour were picked-up by various websites and news agencies and published in 15,000 places across the globe, including Europe and the United States of America.

The defendant, the UWI, is to begin its case when the matter resumes in the Supreme Court just before 2:00 this afternoon.

The first witness for the defendant is listed as Professor Peter Figueroa.

Bain is suing the UWI for its decision to terminate his services as CHART director. The decision came from the fallout over Bain’s evidence in a Belize court that irked gay rights and other lobby groups, which reportedly pressured the university to let him go.
