PUP Says It Will Challenge Appointment of Justice of Appeal Parke
posted (October 2, 2017)
The PUP also passed a resolution to take legal action against the Barrow administration on matters related to good governance. One of those is the appointment of Justice of Appeal Franz Parke. The Opposition maintains he is not qualified and does not meet the standard set out in the constitution:...

Hon. John Briceno, Leader of the Opposition
"Today we passed a resolution that we are going to challenge the Prime Minister's stance. We think it is unconstitutional. We believe that Frank Parke does not have the necessary qualifications. No other than the Caribbean Court of Justice made a ruling that whenever you are going to name somebody to the court of appeals, it needs to be somebody of high legal standing and we don't believe that Mr. Parke has that."
