Attorneys for lawyer Philip Nicholls launched a bid yesterday to get one of the Appeal Court judges recused from the panel.
In addition, Queen’s Counsel Sir Elliott Mottley, who is representing Nicholls in association with attorneys Laura Read and Ivan Alert, indicated he would be opposing an application for leave to appeal to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
Nicholls was back in the Court of Appeal yesterday after that court, by a majority 2-1 decision, had dismissed a recommendation by the Disciplinary Committee of the Barbados Bar Association to disbar the attorney.
Retired Justice of Appeal Kaye Goodridge and Acting Justice of Appeal William Chandler had found that the report of the Bar Association to dismiss Nicholls was not valid, but Justice of Appeal Rajendra Narine dissented, saying that the report was not flawed. (HLE)
