City Hall will on Monday file an appeal of the High Court ruling by Justice Nareshwar Harnanan which declared null and void the decision by Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan last year to approve the by-laws for metered parking in the city.
Town Clerk Royston King told Stabroek News yesterday that while the council’s legal representative Roger Yearwood has already drafted an appeal to the December 15, 2017 ruling, it will not be filed until Monday.
Justice Harnanan’s decision centred on provisions in the Municipal and District Councils Act as to the procedure for public notification in the drafting of by-laws. The judge noted the Minister’s failure in following the procedure mandated for bringing the by-laws into force.
