Attorney Anil Nandlall was yesterday denied his request to stay the Magistrate’s Court from proceeding with charges of alleged misconduct in public office against former Minister of Finance, Dr Ashni Singh and former Head of the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL), Winston Brassington.
Nandlall, the former Attorney General, made the oral application on behalf of his clients before Justice Franklyn Holder in the High Court for the proceedings to be stayed until the determination of his challenge to the actual charges laid against them.
In that substantive matter before acting Chief Justice Roxane George, Nandlall is challenging the “legality and validity” of the charges.
