CCJ tells Charrandass no
The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has dismissed an application by Guyana lawmaker Charrandass Persaud to block Fridays sitting of that countrys 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 Guyanas parliament from sitting until the CCJ gives its ruling on appeals relating to the no-confidence motion.
Persaud and the Opposition Peoples Progressive Party (PPP) have challenged Guyanas appellate court ruling which invalidated Decembers no-confidence vote against the ruling coalition government.
Persauds attorney Sanjeev Datadin filed the urgent application in the CCJ on Thursday, however, the court ruled that the March 22 decision by Guyanas appeal court, which invalidated the no-confidence motion, stands until and unless the court reverses the decision.
