Attorney General Basil Williams yesterday clashed again with his predecessor Anil Nandlall over his performance in the courts as well as the planned establishment of a local law school.
“Can I ask my learned friend to name the cases I have lost?” Williams enquired during his contribution to the final day of the budget debate and he then proceeded to provide figures for the cases he has won and lost for the year.
He said in 2018, out of 277 cases, 118 were either dismissed or discontinued, 110 were won by the Attorney General’s Chambers, with or without costs, and 68 were lost. “So, where is the losing Attorney General’s Chambers? Our winnings doubled what we lost,” he said.
