The expected ruling by Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire on the challenge by the Berbice Bridge Company Incorporated (BBCI) to the government’s takeover of the operations of the bridge has been deferred until December 18th.
The case was set for ruling yesterday but it was further postponed as the judge sought clarity on issues in the matter.
The challenge, which lists Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson and Attorney General Basil Williams as the defendants, contends that Patterson is not required by law to approve toll increases and has no lawful authority to prevent the company from moving ahead with its planned increases.
