Barbados Light & Power Company’s (BL&P) electricity rate appeal trial has been delayed in the High Court as the Financial Services Commission (FSC) makes a fresh bid to participate in the proceedings.
On Monday, the FSC notified the court that it wanted to make submissions before the substantive appeal started as scheduled yesterday.
Justice Barry Carrington has now given all parties until January 20 to submit documents after which he will make a decision on the FSC application and set new trial dates.
The FSC wants the court to order that it be granted leave to intervene in the proceedings, that it can file written submissions for the consideration of the court within 14 days of the date of the order, and that the substantive appeal in the instant matter not be heard or determined until the court hears and determines the application.
