Chief Justice (Ag) Roxane George-Wiltshire SC

On Monday, November 30th,  the High Court will proceed with hearing objections raised on the service of the petitions filed by  APNU+AFC —this time on former president David Granger who is among the listed respondents. 

The Coalition has filed two petitions challenging the results of the March 2nd General and Regional elections which saw the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) winning the seat of government.

The court had initially set yesterday for commencement of arguments on the preliminary issue of service which PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo’s attorney, Senior Counsel Douglas Mendes had argued was not properly effected on his client in accordance with prescribed rules and laws.
