Norton formally advises President of support for confirming Justices Cummings-Edwards, George-Wiltshire

`I’m saving the President the trouble of having to ask for agreement [on the appointments]. The Constitution says in [Article} 127 (1) that he needs the agreement of the Opposition [and] what I’ve done is to remove any barrier whatsoever. I’ve made it clear through the representative in this letter that I am in agreement once it is the appointment of the Chancellor and the Chief Justice’

With President Irfaan Ali yet to initiate the consultative process for the appointment of a Chancellor and Chief Justice, Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton has formally written to the President informing him of his agreement with the confirmation of Justices Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Roxane George Wiltshire to the top judicial posts.
