Nandlall asks High Court to strike out law reports theft charge

Anil Nandlall

Lawyers for former Attorney General Anil Nandlall on Friday moved to have the larceny charge against him thrown out and he has asked the High Court to stay the pending proceedings until a decision is made.

In citing Magistrate Fabayo Azore for numerous errors made during his trial thus far, Nandlall’s attorneys argue that the “justice of this case” demands that his application for a stay of the proceedings in the lower court be made urgently.

In the urgent application, which lists Azore and Superintendent Trevor Reid as the respondents, Nandlall is asking for the matter, which is pending at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, to be stayed until the hearing and determination of the Fixed Date Application which challenges the validity of the charge.
