No decision yet on approach to CCJ over recount challenge – Forde

Roysdale Forde

Although granted a one-day stay of the ruling of the Appeal Court, which dismissed a challenge to the use of the results of the national recount to make a final declaration from the March 2nd polls, attorneys for appellant Misenga Jones had not taken a decision on an approach to Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) up to yesterday afternoon.

Just after 2 pm yesterday, the 24-hour stay of the effect of the decision expired with no further action being taken.

Attorney Roysdale Forde, who is one of Jones’ lawyers and who requested the stay to “consider the way forward,” told Stabroek News that no decision had been made.
