GT&T still enjoys stay in Samuels case

Feb 24, 2013 News

 

 

On Friday, Justice B.S. Roy heard arguments from counsel for Mr. James Samuels and Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) regarding procedural issues arising from GT&T’s appeal of Justice Rishi Persaud’s decision in June, 2012 regarding Mr. Samuels’ contract dispute with GT&T.
Justice Roy rejected GT&T’s request for a stay pending appeal, but issued a further interim stay for two weeks to permit GT&T to appeal his decision to the Full Bench of the Court of Appeals hearing the Samuels matter.
The telephone company says that it intends to file an appeal of Justice Roy’s decision early next week. Until then, Justice Persaud’s decision in the Samuels case will continue to be stayed for two weeks.
“As a result, there has been no change at this time in the status quo regarding this matter, which is that the Samuels’ decision from last year has been and remains stayed.”
“Nothing that occurred during Friday’s hearing would permit any telecommunications operator in Guyana to begin providing service without a licence,” GT&T stated.
Previous efforts by Digicel to provide international calling services without a licence, and in violation of PUC regulations, resulted in an injunction which remains in place today.
“GT&T remains confident that the Guyana courts will issue a correct ruling on the matter of its licence rights, which were not directly involved in Mr. Samuels’ contract dispute with GT&T,” the telephone company stated.
