Surrey developer Bob Cheema has secured a settlement for damages and an apology from former city councillor Jack Hundial for alleged defamatory statements in council chambers.
Former Surrey councillor Jack Hundial has settled a defamation claim against him brought by developer Bob Cheema, agreeing to pay “a substantial sum by way of damages,” according to a letter signed Nov. 18 by Hundial to Cheema.
Furthermore, Hundial’s motion also implied Cheema was “unethical, dishonest and of disreputable character” and that he “is improperly benefiting from his relationship with the mayor and the City of Surrey.” As for his own legal costs, the City of Surrey has covered them, city spokesperson Amy Jugpal confirmed on Nov. 20.
