As he had previously hinted, Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton has filed a court action challenging the appointments of the chairs of the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Integrity Commission.
Norton’s contention is that President Irfaan Ali did not “meaningfully consult” him before making the appointments as is required by law.
In his fixed date application (FDA), Norton (the Applicant) argues that the President appointed Patrick Findlay as Chairman of the PSC without first meaningfully consulting him as is required by Article 210 (1) (a) of the Constitution.
