Government has been ordered to pay out close to $700 000 to five education officers who were denied allowances from as far back as 2003, in a case that could impact others in similar positions.In addition to finally getting the allowances due to them, those among the five who have retired will receive increased pension and gratuity while the others who are still employed will see a significant increase in their salaries from next month.Their attorney Gregory Nicholls described the High Court decision as an example of “justice prevailing against all odds”.In a recent ruling previously unreported in the media, Madame Justice Shona Griffith ordered Government to pay the sum of $682 080.95 in pensionable allowances due to education officers Vaneisha Cadogan, Pamela Hunte, Peggy Agard, Pauline Miller and Celeste Clarke-Cox, who in 2014 challenged the decision of the Ministry of Education to deny them the payments that they argued were due in accordance with Government policy.
