Following a meeting with Town Clerk Royston King, the Shipping Association of Guyana (SAG) yesterday instructed its attorneys to withdraw a court action challenging the city’s move to charge fees for the parking and transport of containers on the streets of Georgetown.
Attorneys Christopher Ram and Sase Gunraj, who represent the association, confirmed to Stabroek News that based on the instructions of their clients they were asked to withdraw the court action. The request came a day after they filed the action to contest the implementation of the fees, which was prompted by city officials blocking the exit of several container trucks from the John Fernandes and Muneshwers wharves.
The reason behind the withdrawal of the court action remains unknown.
