Thank You CJ Brian Sykes
https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20250320/supreme-court-blocks-portmore-parish-law-taking-effectThe Supreme Court has granted an injunction blocking the Portmore parish law from taking effect. Chief Justice Bryan Sykes granted the orders on Thursday.
The Opposition People's National Party claims the law is unconstitutional. The injunction will run until March 28 when the parties return to court.
The two orders granted by the court:
1. An order prohibiting the second respondent or any minister in the Government of Jamaica, until further order of the court, from appointing a day for the coming into operation of the Counties and Parishes (Amendment) Act 2025
2. Alternatively, in the event that such a day shall have been appointed before an order is made, an order that until further order of the court, the 2025 Act is to be treated by all persons and for all purposes as not being in operation.
