Jeremy Enriquez Redistricting Hearing Now in Court of Appeal

Jeremy Enriquez may have lost his case against the government at the High Court, but he’s not giving up on stopping the March twelfth general election. He has filed an appeal, and today the Court of Appeal held a virtual case management hearing to set dates for filing affidavits and responses. The court will then schedule a hearing date. With March twelfth fast approaching, it’s uncertain whether the court will have enough time to hear the appeal and make a ruling. We’ll have to wait and see what happens this week and next Tuesday. Today’s hearing lasted fifty minutes and was presided over by Justices Minnet Hafiz-Bertram, Michelle Arana, and Peter Foster. Senior Counsel Eamon Courtney represented the Attorney General, while Senior Counsel Godfrey Smith represented the Elections and Boundaries Commission. Senior Counsel Anand Ramlogan and Co-Senior Counsel Hubert Elrington appeared for Jeremy Enriquez. We’ll keep following this story.
