GEA ordered to reinstate licence to Atlantic Fuels

High Court Judge Franklyn Holder has ordered the  Guyana Energy Agency (GEA) to reinstate licenses to Atlantic Fuels Inc (AFI) to allow its continued importation and trade of fuel.

This is according to a press release from attorney for AFI, Siand Dhurjon, who said the Court found that the GEA had usurped its powers and acted unlawfully when it cancelled AFI’s licence last March.

According to Dhurjon, the judge ruled that GEA’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mahender Sharma; did not have the powers of a Court to determine that AFI was guilty of breaching a regulation.
