Acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC, last week discharged an order previously directing Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, to show cause why a warrant issued by her to search the residence of former Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, for a quantity of law books, should not be quashed.
In her ruling last Tuesday, the Chief Justice noted that the court found no evidence that the Magistrate knew of a conservatory order, and that the matter was within the jurisdiction of the said Magistrate.
In the circumstances, Justice George ruled that the order nisi of certiorari granted to Nandlall on July 6, 2017 calling on the magistrate to show cause, be discharged; awarding the state costs in the sum of $50,000.
