Noting the need for the expeditious hearing of election petitions, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has set Tuesday July 19th to hear the appeal filed by Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo and Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC to the Guyana Court of Appeal’s ruling giving itself jurisdiction to hear the appeal of the dismissal of the Opposition APNU+AFC’s election petition which challenged the results of the March 2nd 2020 general elections.
With a view to ensuring that the matter is expedited, the Trinidad-based court of last resort for Guyana also set strict timelines to which the battery of attorneys involved in the action has been ordered to adhere, for the filing and serving of their submissions before the court and on each other.
