CHIEF JUSTICE DENIES ORDERS SEEKING TO COMPEL PRESIDENT, CABINET TO RESIGN

Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George-Wiltshire on Wednesday denied orders sought by former Attorney General Anil Nandlall to compel the President and Cabinet to resign. She said the application by Mr Nandlall was not only wholly misconceived, but it is vexatious and an absolute abuse of the process of the court.

The Chief Justice relied on the judgement of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in its consequential orders of July 12. The CCJ, after ruling on consolidated appeals had stated that the government is on a different footing after the passage of the December 21 No Confidence motion and should behave as a caretaker.

Nandlall had argued that the CCJ had omitted to give a mandatory order compelling the President and Cabinet to resign. But the Chief Justice ruled that she was bound by the orders of the CCJ. She said the pronouncements of the CCJ and the orders made in the consequential judgement of July 12 must be read dispassionately and objectively.
