Nandlall apologises for late submission in Red House matter

Attorney-at-Law for the Cheddi Jagan Research Centre (CJRC) Anil Nandlall apologised to acting Chief Justice Roxane George, who chided him for his late submission to the Attorney General’s Chambers regarding the organisation’s challenge to President David Granger’s revocation of the Red House lease

.
Justice George had set out precise timelines for both sides to make submissions,

but when the matter was heard earlier this week, Solicitor General Kym Kyte disclosed that she never received submissions from Nandlall. According to information received, the former Attorney General explained that he had the submissions with him.
Guyana Times understands that the acting Chief Justice appealed for the timelines to be honoured, saying that other predetermined timelines have been totally derailed owing to Nandlall’s late submissions.
However, Justice George gave both sides until June 1 to exchange submissions after which the matter would return on June 19 for clarification. The previous date

for clarifications was May 15.
It was in December 2016 that President David Granger gave the occupants of the CJRC 48 hours to clear the premises, but the move was halted via a High Court injunction. Opposition Leader Bharrat Leader expressed that the President’s decision to revoke the 99-year lease was “unconscionable and vindictive”.
