The appeal was filed on Friday on the grounds that Justice Jennifer Remy got every point of interpretation of the Representation of the People’s Act wrong.

I do believe the Judge Remy's interpretation of the law is on point since the PM didn't have any "legitamate" reasons to remove Sir Watt! Remy also stated that
Quote:

Representation of the People Amendment Act section 4-2, which says that a member of the commission can only be removed for misbehaviour or inability to exercise his/her functions, whether caused by infirmity of body or mind.

Lorna Simon had taken "full responsibility" for the 2009 election debacle but yet the PM still went ahead for a Tribunal that was unsuccessful in removing Sir Watt and Paddy. On this appeal, the PM and Samuel will have us "foot the bill" when the strong tides are against them! With no AG on board, guess he wanted no part of this duo fallen-deck?

Soooo! Eh hey, exactly where do you believe the money is coming from? Yes, believe it or not from PM Spencer's or Juno Samuel's personal xxxx xxxxx accounts. Yes,the hard working prolertariats class and citizens of Antigua & Barbuda, disappointed! Pessimistc! It is our TAXES...

What a disgrace that upon the news of PM BS appealling, the only thing I'm hearing on ZDK is happy birthday wishes to the FORMER PM. In all my years on this earth, the ALP has to be by far the weakest opposition party I've ever seen!!! What a bunch of BAFFOONS!

ALP should be hammering these UPP fools over their continued misuse of the people's money. But instead they're wasting precious air time on birthday greetings!!!!!! !!

I feel sorry and ashamed for the people of A&B.

There is no surprise here. When you are spending other people’s money, you do so with reckless abandon. When you are spending your own money, you do so as a prudent person would. You spend it carefully and thoughtfully.

If they loose the appeal and they probably will, they should be made to reimburse the treasury.

**my way of helping** » 2012-02-21 11:55

would you really appeal such case, even the dumbest man on earth knows this is correct. What will he do next, fire judges when ever he feels like it because he does not feel like he wants them to be a judge?

**Lester Baldwin** » 2012-02-21 11:16

This is a no brainer. It was obvious they would do this. Not only does it buy time for the PM and Juno to do more rigging but it also gives them an opportunity for their lawyer friends to make some more money off the back of tax payers. They know they will not win ... it's all about the time and money.

DR PM & SAMUEL;

PAY FOR IT YOURSELVES!! DUN TALK.

**down to earth** » 2012-02-21 10:26

hmmm, I clearly remember seeing one government minister celebrating victory the weekend BEFORE the judgment was handed down by the Court of Appeal. That's 4 days before judgment was read.How could he have known, who could have told him, an insider perhaps?
Or was it just "intuition"?

Spencer is an Ixiot,plain& simple.

**hmmmm1** » 2012-02-21 09:16

I wonder if they had to pay the cost out of their own pockets if they would be so happy to appeal the judgement.

**mad** » 2012-02-21 09:05

Who is going to pay for the appeals? Surely not the people of Antigua and Barbuda. This government need to stop wasting money. We have bigger issues that need attention. To high paying many Boards, the need for more police personnel and better health care system. Whatever happened to the reshuffle of the cabinet?

the two would pursue an appeal without the AG.

Very intersting indeed. I wonder why. Hmmmmm :-*

**DadliMan** » 2012-02-21 08:56

This is just ridiculous. What turns on this? In anticipation of the expected loss in the court, Dr BS has already changed the laws governing our elections. The laws, under which the 2009 elections were held, have been repealed. The Electoral Commission has been re-constituted with UPP hacks. Why waste our meagre resources to chase this shadow? Sir Gerald has found favour with the courts twice. Even with his victory, Sir Gerald is no longer a member of ABEC. Why is Dr BS wasting our hard-earned tax dollars to prove that he is right, even though it is as clear as crystal that he is dead wrong?

Datadin has found a J**k a** and he is riding it all the way to the bank.

**Reece!** » 2012-02-21 08:20

Dear PM,

Continue to waste the people's money! Ignore the advice of your AG...continue to waste the people's money!

**skyewill** » 2012-02-21 07:41

Too many try-a-ting moves indeed. There is a noticeable trait in Antiguan men. We don’t like to loose even if we are wrong. We can’t say sorry, we don’t know how and we walk around with our wods in our hand just to prove who is bigger. Looks like more tax payers money down the drain. a good student in mathematics can calculate the probability of failure: P(E) = Number of outcomes in event E = n(E)
Total number of possible outcomes n(S)
n(S) = the amount of time they could possibly win. E = the event(appeal in court and win) Since you can only have that one appeal, then n(S) = 0. P(E) = n(E) = 1
n(S) 100
The probability in comparison to the problems that can occur is too low.

"The appeal was filed on Friday on the grounds that Justice Jennifer Remy got every point of interpretation of the Representation of the People’s Act wrong."

So am I to understand then that the Judge don't know the law and The PM and Juno know it better than her cause she did not interpret the law in their favour!

Spencer the majority of us will show you what we interpret your poor decisions to mean....do us a favour an leave office now! I have had enough of you spending quality time and money in Court and not enough time focusing on bringing this economy around and focusing on the people!

**PEACE** » 2012-02-21 06:12

It is their choice,but it should not be with TAX PAYERS $ $ $ $.

It was their choice to do what they did,knowing it was not right.The cost should be with them.
