CCJ tells Charrandass no
The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has dismissed an application by Guyana lawmaker Charrandass Persaud to block Friday’s sitting of that country’s National Assembly.
Persaud, the former Alliance for Change (AFC) parliamentarian who voted in support of the no-confidence motion in the ruling coalition government in December, sought an order to prevent Guyana’s parliament from sitting until the CCJ gives its ruling on appeals relating to the no-confidence motion.
Persaud and the Opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) have challenged Guyana’s appellate court ruling which invalidated December’s no-confidence vote against the ruling coalition government.
Persaud’s attorney Sanjeev Datadin filed the urgent application in the CCJ on Thursday, however, the court ruled that the March 22 decision by Guyana’s appeal court, which invalidated the no-confidence motion, stands “until and unless” the court reverses the decision.
