According to an August 6, 2007 article in the iPinions Journal, Dr. Keith Claudius Mitchell, the Prime Minister of Grenada is suing Lloyd Noel, a political columnist at Caribbean Net News and former Attorney General of Grenada, and Caribbean Net Ltd for publishing an article on Caribbean Net News that states that the Prime Minister is an American citizen.

This allegation raises questions about the constitutionality of Dr. Mitchell's appointment as Prime Minister. In his iPinions piece, lawyer and consultant Anthony Livingston Hall says that the key issue is whether or not Dr. Mitchell is able to show that he renounced his US citizenship before being sworn in as Grenada’s prime minister in 1995.

In September 2007, a default judgment was entered against Noel and Caribbean Net News for failure to file a defense within 28 days.  The defendants filed their defense on September 17 and asked that the default judgment be repealed.  They noted that the court was on its annual vacation between August 1 and September 15, and argued that the defense requirement was tolled until the vacation ended.  The court registrar agreed and repealed the default judgment.  On March 5, 2008, the Eastern Carribbean Supreme Court affirmed the registrar's decison.
