The challenge filed by the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI) to government’s temporary takeover of the bridge and its efforts to prevent a planned hike in tolls is set for hearing on October 8th before acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire.
At an in-chamber case management conference yesterday morning, the judge ordered both sides to have legal submissions filed, served and laid over with the court no later than September 13th.
The BBCI, the claimant, is challenging government’s takeover of the operations of the bridge as well as Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson’s use of his authority preventing it from instituting increases.
