Woman challenging exemption process told: Go before full Appeal Court
3 Hrs Ago
AN East Dry River woman who unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of Government’s decision to close the borders and require nationals to apply for an exemption to return home has been told she has to take her appeal of a judge’s ruling to a full court.
Takeisha Clairmont’s appeal to have her matter heard as a procedural appeal was dismissed on Tuesday by Justices of Appeal Nolan Bereaux and Mira Dean-Armorer, who held the matter was not fit to be heard as a procedural appeal, since the judge who threw out the rolled-up judicial review and constitutional claim decided on the substantive issues raised in the challenge.
