Full Court to rule on Granger’s appeal over procedure in libel case

David Granger

On April 27th, the Full Court will rule on the appeal filed by former President David Granger, who is challenging Justice Navindra Singh’s waiver of a pre-trial review (PTR) in a libel suit he filed against a number of media houses.

At the hearing yesterday, the Court raised questions surrounding “judge/forum shopping,” which it pointedly sought to remind is not allowed in Guyana’s law. 

Back in April of last year, Granger, through his attorney Roysdale Forde SC, wrote a letter to Justice Singh voicing his displeasure with the Judge conducting a pre-trial review (PTR) and also presiding over the trial of his $2.6 billion libel suit.
