Opposition Leader, Dr Denzil Douglas (L) and Attorney General Vincent Byron
By LK Hewlett
BASSETERRE, St Kitts (WINN) — Attorney General Vincent Byron is confident that the St Kitts and Nevis government will emerge victorious in its legal challenge to have leader of the opposition, Dr Denzil Douglas, disqualified as an elected parliamentarian for using a Dominica diplomatic passport. Equally, Douglas also has full confidence that he will win the case.
The attorney general took Douglas to court in February 2018 but there have been several adjournments over the past few months.
The matter was heard in the high court on Thursday, and Justice Trevor Ward QC has reserved his judgment.
Byron spoke to journalists outside the courtroom after the matter had been adjourned sine die, saying he felt the government made a strong case that Douglas owed allegiance to the government of Dominica, and therefore should be disqualified from the parliament.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
