U.D.P Court Battle Could Hinder General Election Performance

With case management for the Barrow-Panton court case set for January fourteenth, 2025, it looks like this legal battle could drag on for months. How will this impact their chances in the upcoming general elections, which rumors suggest might be held early? Will the U.D.P. have enough time to mount a strong challenge against the P.U.P. in any constituency? Today, we asked Barrow’s attorney if the urgency of the situation is being considered.

 

Immanuel Williams, Attorney at Law

“There is a date of January fourteenth 2025 for a hearing of the fixed date claim form, which essentially will be  case management hearing.”

“So we are looking at a period of months, because that is just case management.”

 

Immanuel Williams

“Indeed we are looking at a period of months, because after case management you have orders to be complied with and the court directing the parties to see how best we can handle the case and deal with the matters going forward.”

“The parties here don’t have all that time to settle this dispute because an election is likely within the next six months. Is there anyway the court can be, or is it in your clients interest to apprise the court of the urgency of the matter?”

 

Immanuel Williams

“The matter is urgent. The earliest day the court will address the matter is in January and that is the best time given the circumstances. I think it is an opportune time to see how the matter will be addressed, whether in court or otherwise.”
