Lawyers for the government and elections petitioners battled for nearly five hours yesterday before the CCJ on whether a decision on a petition, which had not been determined on its merits, could be appealed to Guyana’s Court of Appeal.
The top court is to set a date for its ruling.
‘Having not been determined on its merits, the election petition filed by the Opposition APNU+AFC to the March 2nd, 2020 general elections cannot be appealed, and therefore the Guyana Court of Appeal has no jurisdiction to hear such an appeal.’
