It is the contention of Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC that the Full Court of the High Court has no jurisdiction to hear any matter arising out of anything connected with an election petition.
This was the AG’s argument yesterday morning before the Guyana Court of Appeal, where the main opposition APNU+AFC has lodged an appeal against the dismissal of one of its two petitions challenging the March 2nd, 2020 General Elections.
The AG’s position is that the Court of Appeal itself has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal currently before it, since it did not stem from the hearing of by the High Court, of the substantive petition.
