Benjamin Marine challenging cancellation of quarrying licence

Benjamin Marine and Salvage Services Inc., (BMSSI) has filed an action in the High Court against the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) which it says has illegally cancelled its quarry licence.

Against this background, BMSSI (the Applicant) is asking the court to compel both the Commissioner and the Commission to restore its licence granted back in 2017 and to quash their decision giving notice of intention to grant the quarry licence to York Investment Inc.

BMSSI also wants the court to grant an order of prohibition or alternatively an injunction restraining the Commission, their servants or agents from taking any further steps reflecting its intention to grant the licence to York Investments.
