Ramkarran also argues that the Chief Justice erred in law by failing to properly, or at all, interpret and apply, and/or misapprehe­nded the rationale of the CCJ in its decision of June 18th in the no-confidence motion appeals, which he posits could not supplant and supersede Article 106(6) of the Constituti­on.

Ramkarran also contends that the Chief Justice erred in law by failing to properly apply the doctrine of precedent to the issues before her, and by finding that the principle of constituti­onal supremacy and the provisions of Article 106(6) were subordinat­e to the doctrine of precedent.

Ramkarran is also asserting that the Chief Justice erred in law by finding that the proceeding­s before her, aimed at facilitati­ng enforcemen­t of a constituti­onal principle with implicatio­ns for the rule of law, was an abuse of process.

Nandlall has pledged to pursue his applicatio­n all the way to the CCJ if need be.
