KINGSTON, Jamaica— In a case management hearing before the Supreme Court to address other issues concerning the case between embattled Police Federation Chairman Rohan James and Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Andrew Lewis, James instructed his attorney to resile from contempt proceedings.

These proceedings were filed on December 19 of last year and announced by James publicly through his attorney.

This decision came on the heels of the Court of Appeal’s ruling in the matter in which the court set aside the stay of interdiction.
