Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) President Sir Dennis Byron on Wednesday reiterated the importance of having substantive judicial appointments and called for the impasse between President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo to be resolved soonest.
“It is much too long for a country to be without a Chancellor and a Chief Justice and I think it’s important for that situation to be suspended as soon as possible,” Sir Dennis told Stabroek News shortly after delivering a lunchtime keynote address at the 3rd International Conference on Commercial Arbitration.
More than two months have passed since Jagdeo said no to the nominees for the posts of Chancellor of the Judiciary and Chief Justice, which were submitted to him by Granger.
