Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC has said that if it has to, government will go all the way to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) to appeal the Full Court ruling, dismissing the action it had filed against former Finance Minister Winston Jordan and BK Marine Inc., over the controversial sale of prime riverfront property.
The Court had said that the AG was attempting to have the State meddle in a matter it had no business being a part of, as the transactions at the centre of the litigation were purely contractual between companies, and had nothing to do with the government.
On this point, the Court said that the properties at the centre of the dispute did not even belong to government and that Nandlall was therefore misguided in his bid to substantiate government’s right to have brought the action.
