Paul Slowe

With the Full Court set to rule on whether it will grant the State’s application to appeal its ruling that Justice Gino Persaud continues to hear the substantive challenge brought by the former  Police Service Commission (PSC) to the suspension of its Commissioners and non-promotion of ranks, Justice Persaud has stayed any further conduct of the matter.

The matter came up yesterday afternoon before Justice Persaud before whom retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, and immediate former Chairman of the PSC, Paul Slowe had applied for an urgent hearing for an injunction to halt any promotion of members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) by the new PSC headed by Patrick Findlay.
