PUP Files Suit against GOB For Franz Park Appointment to COA
posted (October 11, 2017)
And while Briceno has some interesting days ahead with Musa, he's also taking out a lawsuit against the government to block the appointment of Justice of Appeal Franz Parke. The law firm of Courtenay Coye LLP today filed suit against the Attorney General. The suit says that Franz Parke does not meet the requirements of the constitution to serve on the Court of Appeal that the decision by the Prime Minister to appoint him for a period of five years is unconstitutional and void, and that he was not constitutionally appointed to the court of appeal.

In his affidavit, Briceno notes that Parke was quote, "the subject of a serious Federal investigation in the USA" end quote - and he was never told this when the Prime Minister consulted him on the appointment.

No date has been set for hearing.
