Attorney General (AG) Basil Williams is seeking leave from the Guyana Court of Appeal (GCA) to approach the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in a case where the state is fighting a US$2.2m judgment in favour of Trinidad road construction company, Dipcon.
The case will raise questions about continuity between governments and the records system at the AG’s Chambers as an affidavit filed in support of Williams’ application to the GCA says he was unaware of the award against the state within the timeframe permitted for an appeal.
