Pusey loses Legal Cat Fight

Attention Forumites: Kindly leave all Pusey thread starters to me...Yes.. I love Pusey best

The Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by Senior Resident Magistrate, Judith Pusey, who was seeking to challenge a ruling of the Supreme Court in favour of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Paula Llewellyn.

Pusey had contended that the Supreme Court erred, when it upheld submissions that she does not have the power to instruct Llewellyn to be called as a witness at the Cuban light bulb corruption trial.

The Supreme Court had also upheld submissions that, the Senior RM had no authority to instruct that Llewellyn leaves the courtroom when chief prosecution witness Rodney Chin was testifying.

In a majority vote, the Court of Appeal, this morning upheld the Supreme Court ruling and threw out Pusey’s application.

The appeals court also said the Cuban lightbulb trial, which has been stalled, should now go ahead.

Today’s ruling is the latest in a series of legal wrangling between the DPP and RM Pusey.
