Acting Chief Justice Roxane George, SC yesterday dismissed an application by the Berbice Bridge Company Inc (BBCI) to quash a Toll Order by the Public Infrastructure Minister David Patterson which prevented it from implementing planned increases.
The Chief Justice, in dismissing the application, also ruled that the action by Patterson did not amount to a takeover of the bridge, as was claimed by the company in its application.
In 2018, the company announced plans to implement massive toll increases which were to take effect from November 12th, 2018.
