The Full Court will soon deliver its ruling in the appeal filed by Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield, who is seeking to have the election petition brought by opposition PPP/C parliamentarian Ganga Persaud, struck out.
At a hearing yesterday afternoon, acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC, who is hearing the case along with Justice Franklyn Holder, said that the court needed no further clarifications from the parties and that notices will be sent out for decision.
Before retiring from the Bench, former acting Chief Justice Ian Chang had overruled Lowenfield’s summons, which contended that Persaud’s election petition had no material facts and should be struck out. Lowenfield thereafter appealed the ruling to the Full Court of the High Court.
