Arguments began yesterday in the High Court in the matter of the Conservatory Order sought by APNU to put a stop to any “unauthorized and illegal spending” by the government until a hearing of the substantive action.
Early in December, 2014, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Leader David Granger made an application to the Court for an order to halt any unauthorized spending by the Govern-ment and also for spending on programmes that were disapproved by the National Assembly to be stopped.
His application was the result of concerns raised by the Opposi-tion about government spending public monies without any parliamentary scrutiny after Parliament was suspended on November 10, 2014.
Granger’s lawyers opened the arguments yesterday in Chief Justice (ag) Ian Chang’s chambers
