Muneshwers secures court order against city over encumbrances

Muneshwers Limited has secured an order from the High Court requiring the city to remove all encumbrances from the pavement and streets surrounding its Lots 9 and 10 Water, Commerce and Longden streets premises.

In judicial review proceedings before the Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George, the court ordered that a mandamus be directed to the City Engineer to carry out the duty stated in by-law 10(2) for the enforcement of by-law 10 (1) enacted under the Municipal and District Councils Act in relation to the removal of anything left, placed or stored such as to encumber the pavement or pavements and streets around the property. Failure to comply will constitute contempt of court.

The order was issued on November 3rd.

Lawyers for Muneshwers had approached the court on October 27th for an order against the encumbrances.

Muneshwers was represented by K A Juman-Yassin and T Housty.
