Nandlall to lead team to Paris for parking meter arbitration case
Citizens protest the parking meter project back in 2016
Kaieteur News – Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, SC is set to lead a delegation from Guyana to Paris to testify in arbitration hearing in a case brought against the government over the controversial parking meter project.
A press release posted via Nandlall’s Facebook page outlined that witnesses from Guyana will testify in the arbitration proceedings between Smart City Solutions Holdings Inc. v Co-operative Republic of Guyana (the Parking Meter Case). The matter is scheduled to be heard before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in Paris, France from Monday, September 29 to Saturday, October 4.
Guyana is being sued for damages of US $100 million arising from a contract executed by the former government for the implementation of the Georgetown parking meter project, which was ultimately abandoned following strong public opposition.
According to the release, witnesses scheduled to testify for and on behalf of Guyana are former Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan and former Georgetown Mayor and City Council councillors Malcolm Ferreira and Bishram Kuppen. In addition, a former Chancellor of the Judiciary will also testify as an expert witness.
The case was registered with ICSID on December 22, 2021. A tribunal to hear the matter was constituted on September 20, 2022, comprising Dr. Campbell Alan McLachlan KC of New Zealand as president, with arbitrators Stephan Schill of Germany, appointed by the claimant, and Marcelo Kohen of Argentina, appointed by the respondent. Guyana is represented in the proceedings by the Washington-based law firm Foley Hoag and the Attorney General’s Chambers.
