Bill tabled to increase number of Court of Appeal judges

Attorney General (AG) and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall SC yesterday tabled a bill in the National Assembly to increase the number of judges sitting in the Court of Appeal to at least nine.

Currently, the law provides for not less than two and not more than five judges for Guyana’s Court of Appeal.

A month ago, Nandlall announced government’s plans to have that number increased from not less than five to not more than nine.
