Government, through Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC, is demanding payment of the just over $1 million in court costs yet to be made by the eight Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) who lost the case challenging their suspension from the National Assembly.
On January 16th, Justice Damone Younge threw out the case, ruling that the court did not have the jurisdiction to intervene in the internal matters of the House. She ordered that they pay costs to the state in the sum of $1,050,000 no later than February 6th.
With that deadline having passed, the Attorney General in a letter dated March 10th to Senior Counsel Roysdale Forde, who represented the MPs, demanded that the payment be made no later than yesterday.
