At 9 this morning, High Court Judge Damone Younge will be conducting a case management conference (CMC) in the action filed by the main opposition APNU+AFC contending that President Irfaan Ali is in “gross dereliction and abdication of the duty” and has no “lawful excuse” for not consulting with Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton, on the substantive appointments of a Chancellor and Chief Justice.
The coalition wants the Court to declare that Ali has in fact failed to consult with Norton for substantive officer holders for the top two judicial posts.
Filed in the name of Opposition MP Vinceroy Jordan, the action advances that Ali’s failure to consult in accordance with Article 127 of the Constitution for ensuring the permanent appointments is a “gross dereliction and abdication of [his] duty.”
