GOVERNMENT has been threatened with court action over recent appointments in the Customs and Excise Department, rangingfrom assistant comptroller to custom officer(1, 2 3).

The correspondence from attorney-at-law Gregory Nicholls gave Government seven days to respond before legal action is taken. (TS)
