A CIVIL case brought by the former Chief Executive of the Channel Islands Co-operative Society against his former employer is due to open in Jersey’s Royal Court today.
Colin MacLeod, who worked for the retailer between 1990 and 2020, is bringing a personal injury claim – the details of which will be set out in court over the coming days.
On Friday, the Society confirmed the legal action to its members in an email from CEO Mark Cox, saying: “While we’re limited in what we can say while the case is ongoing, we can share that the Society does not accept the allegations made and has put together a strong defence.”
“As a valued member, you are an important part of our Society. We are committed to keeping you informed wherever possible, and we remain focused on supporting our communities and upholding the values we all share. While we understand the public interest in this matter, we must respect the legal process,” Mr Cox’s message continued.
“Accordingly, we will not be making any further comment at this time. Thank you for your continued trust and support.”
The case is due to take place before Commissioner Matthew John Thompson, sitting with Jurats Karen Le Cornu and Michael Edmund Powell.
