An immigration tribunal two Fridays ago ordered that former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) employee Peter Ramcharran be deported from Canada but his attorney, Kaisree Chatarpaul, said on Thursday that he will be challenging that decision in Federal Court.
Speaking from his office in Ontario, Chatarpaul said that he now has 15 days to file a Notice for Leave and Judicial Review in the Federal Court and thereafter, he will have another 30 days to “perfect the appeal, perfect the application and then we will get a hearing.”
Chatarpaul was confident that he has a very strong case. “I think I have a fairly strong case. First of all, I think the immigration hearing was a disguised extradition hearing,” he stressed before adding that there is an abundance of Supreme Court cases that he can use to support his arguments.
