IS ONE OF THE FEW INSTITUTIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN THAT IS NON POLITICAL, THAT IS RESPONSIBLE AND A GUARDIAN OF THE RULE OF LAW. I want to personally congratulate all the Judges for their Professionalism, their knowledge of Law and the interpretations that set the caribbean apart from most Countries(including the USA). The Rule Of Law is paramount to any civilization and the honorable Judges just ensure the progress and elevation of Caribbean civilization!!

The consequential decisions arising from the judgements should have been rendered today, as well. I hope that the parties to the cases come to an agreement that Court and other costs be borne by the Government for wasting time, however, next week is the 24th of June, so I wouldn’t worry with that much. I apologize for prejudging the CCJ.

Now that the  CCJ has rendered its decision that the December 21st, 2018 NCM was validly passed would the Government resign immediately? Just a question.

Dondadda, I believe the CCJ wants to make it inclusive, they want to give the PNC a chance to prove their commitment to the Rule Of Law. Justice, Fairness and goo faith Governance. The ball is now in the PNC Court!!!

Is the PNC going to act in the interest of the Guyanese people or their own selfish ways?? We will find out on the 24. Are they Patriotic to Guyana or are just a group of scavengers waiting to deplete the Treasury???

Didn’t you see Courtenay was trying to get the court to accept more evidence while Saunders was reading the summary? Saunders had to shut him down.

Based on the summary provided by Justice Saunders, the government has been illegal since December 21, 3018.

So that means the motion and appointment they did is invalid.

CCJ tells parties to seek consensus on way forward

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) will next Monday hear from all parties on what should happen next; the CCJ ruled that the December 21 No Confidence motion was properly passed with 33 votes in the 65-seat National Assembly. It also ruled that the appointment of the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) breached the Constitution.

President of the Court, Justice Adrian Saunders, urged the parties to engage with each other. It is hope that they can come up with a consensus that the Court can then use to make its consequential orders.

According to Article 106 (6) of the Constitution, elections should be held within three months after a No Confidence motion is passed, unless the National Assembly extends the deadline.

The CCJ ruling comes almost six months after the passage of the motion.

The Guyana Elections Commission has told the President that elections are only possible in late November because of its house to house registration process.

The Opposition has argued that the list can be updated without house to house registration.

“We are hoping for a happy marriage between principle and practicality,” said Justice Jacob Wit.

Justice Saunders said the rulings are clear and the Court is hoping that the parties can agree on the consequential orders.
