AG’s bid to join ExxonMobil parent company guarantee case rejected by Court of Appeal – release

An application by Attorney General Anil Nandlall to join a landmark case over an unlimited guarantee from the parent company of ExxonMobil has been unanimously rejected by the Guyana Court of Appeal.

This is according to a release yesterday from the attorneys for Fred Collins and Godfrey Whyte, the two plaintiffs in the High Court who secured an historic judgment from Justice Sandil Kissoon that  ExxonMobil was in breach of its insurance obligation and requiring it to comply.

The judgment has since been appealed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Nandlall had applied to join the appeal.
