The Guyana Court of Appeal has set Monday—April 12th—to conduct a case management conference (CMC) for the hearing of the appeal filed by the main opposition APNU+AFC to the dismissal of one of its two petitions challenging the March 2nd, 2020 General Elections.
In January, acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC threw out the petition, brought by Monica Thomas and Brennan Nurse on behalf of the coalition, after finding that the APNU+AFC presidential candidate David Granger was not served on time.
Thomas and Nurse subsequently appealed the ruling, arguing, among other things, that the Chief Justice erred in law and misdirected herself by misapplying the doctrine of strict compliance and holding that such compliance related to the contents of the affidavit of service instead of the filing of the affidavit of service in a timely manner.
