In his judgment yesterday, Justice Bryan Sykes directed that the proceeds are for the sole benefit of Jamaican coffee farmers who were insured with Dyoll when their crops were devastated by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and who have not received any compensation since. Justice Sykes also directed that an additional US$5 million (approximately J$325 million) should be granted to Safehaven, a Jamaican-owned 18-course golf course and club in Grand Cayman. Both issues were tried at the same time as they were similar reinsurance matters. The joint liquidators, John Lee of PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Kenneth Krys of RSM Cayman Islands, immediately requested leave to appeal, which was granted by the judge. However, as yesterday's judgment was an oral one, and documented judgment is expected to follow, it is likely that some time will elapse before a decision is taken on whether to go ahead with an appeal or not.

DUBLIN (AFP) - Charles Haughey, who served three terms as Ireland's prime minister, died Tuesday at his home in Dublin after a long battle with cancer, the government announced. He was 80.
"It is a very sad occasion, and marks the passing of an era," said Ireland's current prime minister Bertie Ahern Tuesday.
Haughey had grown increasingly ill in recent years, having been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He was taoiseach (prime minister) from December 1979 to June 1981, then again from March 1982 to December 1982 and March 1987 to February 1992. He will be given a state funeral.
Haughey is acknowledged as one of the architects of Ireland's Celtic Tiger boom due to his prudent management of the public finances in the late 1980s.
But his economic reforms have since been overshadowed by revelations of political and financial scandals from his past that came back to haunt him.
