Chief Justice to rule tomorrow in Cabinet resignation case

Chief Justice Roxane George will render her decision tomorrow on whether the Cabinet of the A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) government stands resigned, or is required to resign ahead of impending elections on March 2, 2019.

This is the latest development in Nandlall v. AG of Guyana, by which the Shadow Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister, Anil Nandlall, has sought to compel the coalition to resign following the successful passage of the no-confidence vote against it on December 21, 2018, and the June 18, 2019 decision of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).

The APNU+AFC coalition government has maintained that its interpretation of the Constitution and the CCJ decision suggests that Cabinet continues in caretaker mode until general and regional elections are held.
