West Coast Berbice (WCB) rice farmers have moved to court to challenge President David Granger’s revocation of their land leases, saying that they were never given a hearing and are now in danger of losing their crops, which are almost ready to be reaped.
Brian George and his daughter Tiffaine Hubbard as well as Joylyn Nicholson and her children Gratien Oswald Nicholson, Vaughn Aaron and Herman Yulotto Nicholson, have filed separate lawsuits asking the High Court to, among other things, declare that the revocation was unlawful and to award damages for the breach of their constitutional rights.
