On Thursday September 16th, Justice Gino Persaud will deliver his ruling on whether President Irfaan Ali’s name will be struck from the action filed by the Police Service Commission (PSC) regarding the annual promotion of police officers.
Restating his position yesterday that the President is immune from suit, Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC said that the Head of State has been improperly and unlawfully named a party to the proceedings.
Meanwhile, without advancing any legal authority to substantiate his arguments, counsel for the Commission—Selwyn Pieters—submitted that there is nothing precluding a suit from being brought against the President in his official capacity.
