CCJ consequential declarations

Georgetown: On 12th July, the Court will give consequential declarations and orders in two sets of cases from Guyana. The cases have to do with the appointment of the Chairman of the Guyana Election Commission and a no-confidence vote passed in the Guyana National Assembly. On 18th June, in separate judgments, the Court had concluded that the Chairman of the Election Commission had been invalidly appointed and that the no-confidence motion was validly passed. The Court held a hearing on June 24th to determine whether there was consensus on those consequences and the declarations and orders the Court should make. As there was no such consensus, the CCJ had ordered the parties to make written submissions on the issue by 1st July.
