The state, through the Attorney General’s chambers, is expected to provide reasons by Friday to the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI) for preventing its decision to hike tolls and for the government’s temporary takeover of the bridge.
When the lawsuit filed against the government by BBCI was called before High Court judge Gino Persaud on Monday morning, the state was expected to have already laid over its affidavit in answer providing the reasons being sought by the bridge company.
The state failed, however, to lay over its written submissions to the court and sought an extension of time for further leave to so do.
