Berbice High Court fails to get underway

Oct 21, 2009 News

The Berbice Criminal Assizes opened yesterday with Justice Winston Patterson taking the salute.
However the list of cases was not submitted thus forcing the closure of the court. This was the first time something of this nature has happened.
The court was adjourned to next Tuesday. The sixty-plus jurors who turned up had to be discharged.
According to sources the entire incident resulted from the Supreme Court Registry failing to move to get the cases published in the Official Gazette.
This newspaper understands that the Director of Public Prosecutions Shalimar Ali Hack sent the list of cases to Supreme Court Registry on October 1, 2009 in keeping with the laws. This newspaper also understands that the DPP is on leave.
The registry however never moved to get the cases into the gazette.
And even when the Criminal sessions were opened in Berbice yesterday, the list of matters, which is usually processed in Georgetown, was not available.
A source told this newspaper that before the lists are completed certain information would be attached.
