Press Statement

Justice Abroad’s Director and London-based international barrister Michael Polak is acting for Mr Mehul Choksi as part of his legal team.

Today, the High Court of Dominica granted Mr Mehul Choksi bail so that he can return to Antigua for medical treatment and adjourned his judicial review application and the criminal proceedings against him for unlawful entry.

Mr Choksi is suffering from a number of ailments including cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and blood dyscrasias. He is also suffering from a subdural haematoma, the collection of blood between the skull and the surface of the brain.

Dominican doctors expressed concern that Mr Choksi’s current health problems are serious and reported that he is in need of the urgent medical assistance of a Neurologist and Neurosurgical Consultant and that this care is not available in Dominica.

London Barrister and Director of Justice Abroad, Michael Polak has stated the following:

We are very pleased that the Dominican Court has made the principled and humanitarian decision to release Mr Choksi so that he can access specialist medical care in Antigua.

Mr Choksi has been through a very difficult few weeks and has been subject to an ordeal which has had a detrimental effect on him physically. It is the right outcome that he be able to return to Antigua, where he can access the medical attention that he requires and be with his family.
