Justice of the Supreme Court, Westmin James has ruled that Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Ian Haylock can proceed with a case of judicial review in the appointment by Prime Minister, John, Briceño, of one of his former subordinates, Estelle Leslie, as the new Comptroller of Customs.
Haylock through his attorneys, former Prime Minister, Dean Barrow and Darrell Bradley argued the case on Wednesday February 3. He asked the court to allow him leave to fully explore whether or not Leslie’s appointment was in accordance with the constitution. He also asked for an injunction to bar Leslie from taking up the appointment.
