The Court of Appeal yesterday granted an application for an appeal of the court’s decision on the presidential term-limit to be referred to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
The Appeal Court in February upheld a previous ruling made by then acting Chief Justice Ian Chang that the presidential term-limit was unconstitutional, resulting in both respondents filing applications for leave to have the matter heard in the CCJ.
The Attorney General, and former Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman are named as the respondents in the original court action, which was filed by Cedrick Richardson, a private citizen, in the High Court.
