Comissiong: My right to challenge

SOCIAL ACTIVIST and attorney at law David Comissiong says Barbadians are entitled to challenge the Government, and they should.

He was speaking yesterday outside the Supreme Court Complex following the adjournment of a lawsuit opposing the construction of the controversial Hyatt Hotel earmarked for Bay Street, St Michael. The next hearing is scheduled for May 9.

The proposed site has been cleared in anticipation of the start of construction on the Hyatt Centric Hotel, but Comissiong filed suit challenging whether the permission process was legal.

Prior to the hearing, he had filed a further application to have that permission halted and so stop the start of the construction. (TKS)
