Stemming from a letter he wrote to High Court Judge Navindra Singh, in which he expressed his displeasure with the Judge conducting a pre-trial review (PTR) and also presiding over the trial of his $2.6 billion libel suit, former President David Granger is appealing the Judge’s decision waiving the PTR.
In his appeal filed before the Full Court, Granger describes the Judge’s decision as being “unreasonable and irrational,” and made “at his [the Judge’s] own initiative.”
Through his attorney Roysdale Forde SC, Granger is contending that Justice Singh so did, “without a proper consideration…of the overriding objectives of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR).
