Attorney General Basil Williams SC has moved to have the High Court strike out the application by attorney Anil Nandlall to compel Cabinet’s resignation.
Williams contends that Nandlall’s application is an abuse of process, moot, and an affront to the doctrine of stare decisis (meaning let the decision stand), or rule of precedent.
In a Fixed Date Application (FDA), filed on August 26th, 2019, Nandlall asked the High Court to issue an Order compelling Cabinet, including the President, to resign, or to give effect to their resignations, which he argues occurred automatically as a consequence of the no-confidence motion that was passed against the government by the National Assembly.
