Nandlall challenging basis of case brought on behalf of Haitians

Referencing new information being brought to the fore, Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC is renewing his calls for the striking out of the action brought late last year on behalf of the 26 Haitian nationals who were detained for weeks at the state-run Hugo Chavez Centre for Rehabilitation and Reintegration. 

Among other things, Nandlall says that the respondent—Allandres Archer in whose name the action was filed on behalf of the Haitians has since indicated that he had no idea that a court action would be initiated in his name and that he never agreed to anything of that nature. 

Against this background, the AG has filed a Notice of Application (NOA) asking the Chief Justice to strike out the challenge.
