Dear Editor,
With the recent ruling of the Apex Court, that the time limits for judges’ decisions, in both the local Courts are discretionary rather than mandatory, what impact would this have on the time limits to file appeals? Just wondering. Staying with the courts: The decision handed down by a High Court judge to block CIB in its fifth attempt to gain access to a substantial sum lodged in our system, was a landmark ruling and another milestone in our judicial system. Further, the ruling that CIB must first seek and obtain leave from the High Court before filing another application must also be commended. It is unbelievable the Bank would seek to claim this lodgement knowing full well GoG stepped in to assist their creditors, following the collapse of its parent company in 2009. The GoG must pursue legal proceedings to claim these monies as compensation due.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
