CCJ Denies Special Leave in Jeremy Enriquez’s Redistricting Case

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has denied a special leave application filed by Jeremy Enriquez in his case against the Attorney General of Belize. The ruling, delivered on March 4, 2025, marks the latest development in a legal battle that also involves the Elections and Boundaries Commission as an interested party.

According to court documents, Enriquez sought special leave to appeal a decision from the Belize Court of Appeal, but the CCJ dismissed the application, stating it was “without merit.”

The court ruled that the matter would be handled on paper submissions, eliminating the need for an oral hearing before denying the application.

Enriquez is challenging the March 12th election, claiming the voters list is unconstitutional. His attorney, Anand Ramlogan, requested an urgent appeal, but the Court of Appeal must first decide if it qualifies for an expedited hearing. Frustrated with the delay, Ramlogan took the unprecedented step of appealing the case management orders to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
