–?by D’Andra Lewars, Norman Manley Law School?If I’m a part of a club that cannot sue in law,Cheap Soccer Jerseys 2019, can I bring a case as its representative?This was the question before the Caribbean Court of Justice in the appeal case taken by Robin Singh and Rajendra Singh against the Attorney General of Guyana in 2012.In an earlier decision, Chief Justice Ian Chang had stated that the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) and its affiliates were not capable of suing or being sued under the law. This, the Chief Justice said,Cheap Jerseys, made GCB a ‘legal non-entity’. The Chief Justice then went on to suggest that the Ministry of Sport in Guyana take control of national cricket administration in place of the GCB.The Ministry accepted the Chief Justice’s suggestion and took steps to implement it. Trustees of GCB,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, however, applied to the Court as representatives of GCB to quash the Ministry’s decision to control the national administration of cricket.The Chief Justice heard the application by the trustees and decided that the trustees had no power to bring a case on behalf of GCB to challenge the acts of the Government.The trustees appealed to the Full Court of Guyana.

The trustees appealed to the CCJ.The Judges of the CCJ first looked at the Guyana Constitution before interpreting any further law. As a result of their approach of holding the Constitution supreme, they resolved the problems by asking:How should an application to the Court,Cheap Jerseys China, by representatives of an association, to stop the government from taking some action adverse to the interests of the association, be dealt with considering (1) the nature of the application (2) the nature of the order and (3) the Constitution?This question is crucial as the decision by the Ministry potentially affects the property rights and rights of the association of members of GCB. The CCJ recognized that such actions which affected constitutional rights demand that there be the right to appeal to a higher Court.
