Collins, Whyte seeking discharge of stay in ExxonMobil indemnity case

Frederick Collins

The two men who secured an historic judgment from the High Court for ExxonMobil to indemnify Guyana have filed a motion seeking to vary or discharge the stay against the ruling which had been issued by a judge of the Court of Appeal.

In a statement yesterday, Frederick Collins and Godfrey Whyte said that they have filed a motion to vary/discharge the stay granted by Justice of Appeal Rishi Persaud of the High Court judgment of Justice Sandil Kissoon.

 They say that they are respectfully asking the Court of Appeal to address these aspects urgently, including the hearing and determination of the substantive appeal  which had been filed by ExxonMobil and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) against Justice Kissoon’s order.
