The Mayor and City Council (MYCC) yesterday lost a bid to prevent the High Court from reviewing its controversial parking meter contract with Smart City Solutions (SCS) after Justice Brassington Reynolds ruled that the court does have the jurisdiction to hear the case.
“This court has the jurisdiction to hear and determine such matters, especially those in the interest of the public, such as the one before the court,” Justice Reynolds declared at a hearing yesterday, while overruling submissions made by M&CC attorney Roger Yearwood.
