With both written and oral arguments now submitted, Justice Damone Younge has fixed March 7th for her ruling in the case over the non-appointment of a substantive Chancellor of the Judiciary and Chief Justice.
The action filed by the main opposition APNU+AFC in the name of MP Vinceroy Jordan, is contending that President Irfaan Ali is in “gross dereliction and abdication of his duty” and has no “lawful excuse” for not consulting with Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton, on the substantive appointments of a Chancellor and Chief Justice.
The coalition wants the Court to declare that Ali has in fact failed to consult with Norton for substantive office holders for the top two judicial posts.
