The High Court yesterday held another Saturday sitting to hear an application by the opposition PPP/C for an injunction to restrain the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) from declaring the final results of the March 2 polls until a recount is done in Region Four in accordance with the law.
The matter was, however, adjourned until Monday after the respondent, GECOM, indicated that it was not aware of a material submission made by the applicant.
According to attorney and executive member of the People’s Progressive Party Anil Nandlall, on Friday evening he requested that the Registrar of the High Court facilitate a sitting of the High Court and this request was granted. He said because the High Court building in Georgetown was fumigated yesterday with certain toxic chemicals, the sitting of the High Court took place at Diamond/ Grove Magistrate’s Court, on the East Bank of Demerara.
