Jihad Chabaan, the Lebanese Supervisor\u00a0of Marwako Restaurant accused of allegedly shoving\u00a0the face of a Ghanaian female employee\u00a0in pepper, has requested for an out of court settlement.<\/p>\n
According to lawyers for Chabaan, who made the request in court today [Thursday], the charges preferred against their client are misdemeanors, and that the court has the power to order the parties to attempt an out of court settlement.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”qkcnJ15dqPOaGCo2d9oYV3uyRZ7g7LvL”]He cited section 73 of the Courts Act in his argument, to back his request. The application was however opposed by the prosecution, arguing that one of the charges of causing harm, is a second-degree felony.<\/p>\n
