U.D.P. Leadership Court Hearing Still on For March 31st?

Will the High Court case between Moses “Shyne” Barrow and Tracy Taegar-Panton continue now that Panton has taken over the party leadership? The court hearing is scheduled for March thirty-first, and Barrow was confident that he and his team would be vindicated. However, with Barrow resigning after his election defeat and U.D.P. members rallying behind Panton, we asked her on Tuesday if the case had become irrelevant.

“In relation to the case you have your one day trial on the thirty-first unless you expect Barrow will withdraw that?”

“Well you would have to ask him that question whether he intends to withdraw. What I can say is that there are three of the claimants who are now making steps to withdraw from the case.”

“So if a convention is held and you are elected the leader, endorsed, then a case does not matter.”

“I did not drag myself to court and I did not drag this party to court. That was done by the former party leader and the former chairman. They will have to answer those questions. If we have to show up to court we wild o so. We have a very capable, competent leadership team representing us and I am sure that they will make the argument that will vindicate us in the court.”
