Acting Chief Justice, Roxane George SC, yesterday ordered that the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre Inc (CJRCI) be allowed occupancy of historic Red House and the enjoyment of the status quo, until a full trial to determine its challenge to Government’s revocation of its lease.
The government had been seeking to oust the CJRCI from the location at the end of last year.
At an in-chamber hearing at the High Court yesterday morning, Justice George noted that the issues to be resolved in the case, could not be determined through interlocutory hearings.
To this end, the Chief Justice ruled that the status quo be preserved in the interim, thereby issuing an interlocutory conservatory order which the Government had previously undertaken to comply with.
