Chief Justice Leslie Haynes today adjourned the suit challenging the suspension of Democratic Labour Party (DLP) President Dr Ronnie Yearwood and General Secretary Steve Blackett.
He ordered the legal team representing Ricky Williams, a veteran DLP member who filed the challenge back in May, and the representatives of acting party president Pedro Shepherd and acting general secretary Andre Worrell to return to court on July 23.
Williams’ attorney Shamar Bovell said the judge has also opened the door for the two sides to resolve the matter through discussion.
He said while his client has a strong case, they are open to serious talks to settle the issue.
In the meantime, King’s Counsel Hal Gollop, who is representing Shepherd, said the judge ordered that his client and Worrell remain in their interim positions.
