With the completion of arguments in the appeal of Chief Justice Roxane George’s ruling throwing out the Elections Petition which challenged the recount order from which the polls of March 2nd 2020 were declared, the Court of Appeal will next move to rule.
Following the conclusion of yesterday’s hearing, acting Chancellor Yonette Cummings-Edwards announced that the Court will send out notices informing when it will be delivering its judgment.
The appeal was filed by petitioners Claudette Thorne and Heston Bostwick who have maintained the argument that Section 22 of the Elections Law (Amendment) Act (ELAA) 2000 is unconstitutional and that Order 60 of 2020, which authorized the recount of ballots of the March 2nd 2020 elections, is invalid and of no effect.
