The state, through Attorney General Basil Williams, will also be presenting arguments on its application for a conservatory order preserving the status quo ante that the President, Cabinet and all Ministers of the Government remain in office until the hearing and determination of appeals of the High Court judgments rendered by acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire.
