Work on the new airport in Barbuda is one step closer to being restarted as the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court has upheld the High Court’s decision to dismiss an injunction filed to halt construction.
But, one of the litigants told Observer that they are currently reviewing the written judgment as they await further advice from their legal team.
The individual also said there is a strong possibility that the case will be escalated to the next level, which is the Privy Council.
