Government promises a robust legal response to a case filed in the High Court challenging the convening of Parliament.

Former Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite today filed the case through his attorneys Garth Patterson and Michelle Russell.

A written statement released by Mr. Brathwaite alleges that Parliament has been convened at a time when one of its key organs, the Senate, has not been constituted in accordance with section 36 of the Constitution.

Mr. Brathwaite argues that since only eighteen of the required twenty-one Senators have been appointed, this means that there is no Senate, and, without a Senate, there is no Parliament.

He contends that any business that it purports to conduct will be invalid.

Mr. Brathwaite also stressed that he is not bringing this action on behalf of any political party.

Meantime, Attorney General Dale Marshall, tells Starcom Network News, he welcomes any citizen challenging the government as that’s good for democracy.

But he’s confident that the government is on solid ground .
