The Court of Appeal will on Thursday hear an application for an appeal of the court’s decision on the presidential term-limit to be referred to the Carib-bean Court of Justice (CCJ).
Sunday Stabroek was recently told that all the parties involved– the Attorney General and former Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman, who were named as the respondents in the original court action, and Cedrick Richardson, the private citizen who had filed the action in the High Court— were notified of the upcoming hearing.
In February, the Appeal Court had upheld the previous ruling made by former acting Chief Justice Ian Chang that the presidential term-limit was unconstitutional, resulting in both respondents filing applications for leave to have the matter heard in the CCJ.
