First hearing of judicial review matter involving PM Holness and the IC to begin this morning

The first hearing of the judicial review matter, involving Prime Minister Andrew Holness and the Integrity Commission (IC) is set to begin at 10 o’clock this morning.

Mr. Holness and his three co-applicants were granted leave by the Supreme Court last month, to bring a judicial review claim against the commission and its Director of Investigations, Kevon Stephenson.

The Prime Minister and Imperium Investment Holdings Limited, Positive Media Solutions and Positive Jamaica Foundation Limited, also have leave to challenge the August 30, 2024 IC report on his statutory declarations.

Additionally, leave was granted to seek an order quashing the special report on the applicant, except for the paragraph recommending that Parliament develop policy and legislation, regarding the commercial and corporate activities of government ministers and potential conflicts of interest.

Today’s hearing is expected to last for two hours in the Judicial Review Court.
