The hearing into the lawsuit brought against the State by Leighton ‘Livity’ Coke is to resume in the Constitutional Court.
The court began hearing submissions last month and the matter was adjourned to today.
Coke is seeking compensation for the alleged beating he received from soldiers at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre in 2012.
He is also claiming that his constitutional rights were breached as a result of the beatings and that he was treated inhumanely during his incarceration.
The Jamaica Defense Force has reported that Coke received his injuries while being restrained after he attacked three soldiers.
