Attorney General (AG) Basil Williams has advanced that the High Court has no jurisdiction to hear the case brought by the Cheddi Jagan Research Committee Inc (CJRCI) which is challenging the revocation of the lease it holds to Red House.
For his part, however, counsel for the CJRCI, former AG Anil Nandlall, has said that the points raised by Williams are “deeply flawed” and have nothing to do with the court’s jurisdiction.
Late last year, President David Granger announced that the lease held by CJRCI to the heritage building would be revoked.
At an in-chamber hearing yesterday afternoon, Williams argued that the affidavit filed by Nandlall failed to fully disclose the material facts of his contention that the lease was “valid, binding and of legal effect.”
