Interim Injunction granted halting Ombudsman from functioning

Roysdale Forde

An interim injunction was on Tuesday granted in the High Court to stop Attorney-at-Law Stephen Lewis from carrying out the functions of the Cricket Ombudsman.

Justice Fidela Corbin-Lincoln presided over the matter where the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) had moved to the Court to block the elected Ombudsman in carrying out his functions.

Lewis had on May 3 secured majority votes in an election for the post at an extraordinary meeting of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) as per the Cricket Administration Act 2014 Chapter 23:01.
