CCJ dismisses bid to block sitting of House

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has dismissed an application filed by attorney Sanjeev Datadin on behalf of former government parliamentarian Charrandass Persaud to prevent today’s planned sitting of the National Assembly.

Datadin had asked the CCJ on Wednesday to issue an order prohibiting today’s sitting.

The appellants in the case were listed as Persaud, who voted in favour of the opposition-sponsored no-confidence motion of December 21st, attorney Christopher Ram and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo.
