BREAKING: High Court Dismisses Jeremy Enriquez’s Application

The High Court has dismissed an application for interim relief filed by Jeremy Enriquez, ruling that he failed to present sufficient legal grounds for his claim. In addition, the court has ordered all parties to submit further arguments regarding legal costs by Monday.

Justice Hondora noted several concerns in the case, including the use of digital template signatures on affidavits and exhibits submitted by Enriquez, which raised questions about the authenticity of court documents. The judge also criticised the length and structure of Enriquez’s filings, describing them as unnecessarily lengthy and resembling legal arguments rather than standard court documents.

Senior Counsel Anand Ramlogan, who represented Enriquez, was specifically directed to clarify whether he operates a legal practice in Belize and to explain his arrangements with local law firm Messrs Estevan Perera and Company LLP, which had been listed as the address for service. Additionally, the court has requested details on how affidavits and supporting documents were prepared, signed, and submitted, particularly addressing concerns about digitally inserted signatures.

The Elections and Boundaries Commission, which was not initially cited as a party in the case, was granted permission to join the proceedings and file legal submissions. Meanwhile, Justice Hondora has reserved the right to issue further orders regarding the preparation and submission of court documents in this case.
