The High Court will on December 17, 2020 issue a ruling on the the application filed by attorney Timothy Jonas who is challenging last year’s appointment by former President David Granger of four senior counsel.
Following oral arguments during a virtual hearing yesterday, Justice Nareshwar Harnanan told the Court that he would issue his ruling on Thursday December 17 at 3 pm.
Jonas is arguing that the President’s appointment of attorneys-at-law Jamela Ali, Roysdale Forde, Mursalene Bacchus and Stanley Moore is “entirely void and of no effect” since the president has no authority to appoint senior counsel, also known as conferring silk.
