The Government of Guyana will have to pay the US$2.2 million awarded to Trinidad road construction company Dipcon in 2015, after losing its bid to appeal the judgment before the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
The Regional Court yesterday, among other things, ruled that the Attorney General (AG) of Guyana (the appellant), failed to file an application to the court for special leave to appeal, pursuant to section 8 of the CCJ Act.
As a result, the October 21, 2015 $455m judgment of then High Court Judge, Justice Rishi Persaud, in favour of Dipcon, for road and infrastructural works done under the former administration remains intact.
