Lawyers for Prime Minister defend decision to go to court

Feb 25, 2013

ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Lawyers for Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit have defended the decision to go to the courts regarding the decision of the Integrity Commission to probe allegations that the head of government had breached the Integrity in Public Office’s (IPO) Code of Conduct. The Commission was due to have started its hearings on Monday, but Justice Brian Cottle last Friday granted the lawyers leave to apply for judicial review against the decision of the Integrity Commission. The inquiry, which was first scheduled for December 17 last year, was postponed due to a challenge by the Prime Minister’s legal team in response to a complaint made by journalist Lennox Linton.
