Attorney Anil Nandlall has moved for an early and expedited hearing of his appeal of the Chief Justice’s decision to dismiss his application to compel Cabinet’s resignation.
Further to a Notice of Appeal filed on October 23rd, 2019, Nandlall, who suggested that the hearing of the case can be completed in less than three hours, by way of a Notice of Motion to the Court of Appeal on Thursday pointed out that the appeal “raises matters of fundamental constitutional issues central to democracy, good governance, the Rule of Law, and public order”, and suggested that “is it of high public importance that this appeal be heard and determined with every convenient speed.”
He said that the need for an early hearing of the appeal is buttressed by the flagrant continuation of a constitutional breach by the incumbent government, and the fact that “Cabinet continues to unlawfully sit and make decisions in absolute violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution.”
