Judge to rule on whether she has jurisdiction in hearing Nandlall challenge to books charge

Anil Nandlall

On January 3rd of the New Year, acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC, will rule on whether she has jurisdiction to hear the challenge mounted by former Attorney General Anil Nandlall, over the validity of charges levelled against him for the alleged theft of a quantity of Law Reports while he was in office.

Requesting that both sides satisfy her that she does have jurisdiction to hear the matter, the chief justice at a hearing on Friday morning heard from Senior Counsel Neil Boston—one of a battery of Nandlall’s attorneys.

When the case is called again on January 3rd, the court will hear presentations from attorney Leslyn Noble for Superintendent Trevor Reid who is listed as one of the respondents in Nandlall’s action.
