Given the passage of the December 21st, 2018 no-confidence motion (NCM) against the David Granger-led APNU+AFC coalition government, former Attorney General Anil Nandlall has filed a fixed date application before the High Court, challenging what he says is Cabinet’s refusal to resign in accordance with constitutional stipulations.

In his urgent application filed against the Attorney General who is listed as respondent, Nandlall is seeking an order compelling the Cabinet, including the President to resign given government’s collapse following the NCM by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly. 

Nandlall, (the applicant) is arguing that in accordance with Article 106(6) of the Constitution, Cabinet ought to resign.
