Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) Judge Jacob Wit has urged greater swiftness on the part of local courts in addressing election petitions.
He said there seems to be an eagerness to “punish” for a few days delay in service in one petition, while two years on from the elections, the other of the two petitions challenging the March 2nd, 2020 polls “is still somewhere.”
Meanwhile, another of the judges of the Regional court—Justice Peter Jamadar—has emphasised the need for the country’s laws governing those matters to be simple for every citizen to understand, while stating that it plays a significant role in aiding democracy.
