He provided the information while answering parliamentary questions posed on May 12 by Sen Marc Daniels, who had asked how much had been invoiced and how much had been paid to the law firm.

Sen Fahy said: “The ministry can advise the total legal fees invoiced by MJM Ltd for the period of 18 December, 2012, to 30 April, 2015, is $1,208,638.71.

The Labour Disputes Tribunal and the Supreme Court Injunction Application did not incur any outside legal costs, Sen Fahy said.

“The Ministry can advise there have been no legal fees paid in relation to the recent Labour Disputes Tribunal and Supreme Court Injunction as the Ministry was represented by the Attorney-General Chambers,” he said.
