The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) has written to Jermaine Hue asking the former mid-fielder to withdraw his claim, filed against the JFF in the Supreme Court.

Hue had written to the JFF earlier this year seeking compensation for loss of earnings following his positive drug test while playing for the country in a World Cup Qualifier in 2013. When no compensation was forthcoming, the former Harbour View player took the matter to court, alleging breach of contract, battery and negligence on the part of the JFF.

But in a recent letter to the 36 year old, the local governing body asserted that taking the Federation to an ordinary court of law is prohibited. Furthermore the JFF says the player had signed to this clause in his contract.

In a release on Wednesday, the JFF said it has given the player 48 hours on receipt of the letter to withdraw his claim.

According to the Federation, if that is not done, then the matter will be submitted to the relevant authorities within the JFF.
