Prime Minister Andrew Holness will know by next month what decision the Supreme Court has made regarding the suit he filed against the Integrity Commission.

The Supreme Court will decide on December 6 whether Mr. Holness will be granted permission to proceed to the Judicial Review Court concerning his challenge to the Integrity Commission’s report on his statutory declaration.

This follows two days of submissions by lawyers representing the parties in the matter.

Yesterday, Attorney-at-law Ransford Braham made submissions before Justice Althea Jarrett in chambers.

Braham reportedly emphasized the importance of the matter being decided by the Judicial Review Court.

The Commission’s report tabled in Parliament in September, outlined an investigation into banking transactions involving Mr. Holness and three entities connected to him.

Among other things, the Commission recommended that the matter be examined by the Financial Investigations Division (FID).

Mr. Holness claims that the Commission’s report contains errors and miscalculations and that it wrongly sought to impute criminal conduct.

In his suit, he is seeking the court’s determination on certain aspects of the Commission’s investigative remit.

He is also challenging aspects of the legislation governing the Commission and the constitutionality of the Corruption Prevention Act, which allows public officials to be prosecuted if they fail to explain assets disproportionate to their income.

The respondents in the suit are the Commission and two of its directors.
