AG appeals order compelling him to appoint board for registries

Attorney-General (AG) Basil Williams, S.C, has filed an appeal to challenge an order made by Justice Nareshwar Harnanan directing him to appoint the Governing Board of the Deeds and Commercial Registries Authority.

In the appeal, Williams is contending that the judge erred by not attaching weight to a proposed amendment that is currently before the National Assembly and by seeking to “dictate” to Williams a timeline for the appointment of the board.
