A major twist has emerged in the high-profile redistricting case, as the claimant-Jeremy Enriquez-has filed a formal judicial bias application seeking the removal of Justice Tawanda Hondora from the matter.
The application, filed on Monday, cites serious allegations of judicial misconduct. According to Enriquez, during a private conversation inadvertently picked up in a Zoom teleconference session, Justice Hondora made remarks that demonstrated what he and his attorney say is clear bias.
Enriquez laments that despite a formal complaint filed with the Chief Justice and the Judicial and Legal Services Commission two weeks ago, Justice Hondora has refused to recuse himself.
If the court fails to act, Enriquez says he is prepared to take the matter to the Caribbean Court of Justice.
