At 10 this morning, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) is to deliver its much anticipated ruling on whether Guyana’s Court of Appeal can proceed to hear the election petition which acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC had thrown out for late service.
The CCJ made the confirmed official announcement yesterday afternoon via its website, that it will be delivering its judgment this morning.
The ruling will settle whether the local appellate court has jurisdiction to entertain an appeal on an election petition not determined on its merits, but which had been thrown out on grounds of late service, non-service or improper service.
