Justice Tim Owen, QC, issued his ruling last week in the judicial review challenge brought by Shirley Roulstone, a member of CPR Cayman, which chal- lenged the legality of the law enacted by Government to establish the process and procedure for the conduct of the referendum on the proposed cruise ship berthing facility. Justice Owen found the law to be un- constitutional in that the Constitution allowed the people of the Cayman Is- thanlands just to havegiving referendums them the right that to werehave carried out fairly and effectively, rather

a speci�ic law that it could tailor to suit its agenda in any particular referendum, a press release from CPR Cayman stated. In particular, Section 70 of the Constitu- tion conferred a direct democratic right on the people to veto the policy choices of their democratic representatives, the Grand Court heard. “Allowing the democratic representatives to change the ground rules every time there is a referendum risks the rules being changed to promote their policy choice,” the ruling also stated. andCPR that Cayman their vote said in that the thereferendum decision ing some types of provisions that should showed that the people’s voice counted be ready to challenge the Government CPR Cayman called for the Govern- would count. be included in that law to protect the when its action or inaction is contrary to ment to commission a fully updated “The citizens of the Cayman Islands people’sGovernment constitutional has said right that to is have has ref-al- the standards of fairness, good govern- theenvironmental Department impact of Environment statement on andthe can challenge the Government and chal- erendums conducted fairly. ance and democracy that we have the revised project, in consultation with lenge the status quo to bring about a andright also to expect.” The National Trust for joining CAYMANIAN TIMES Friday 29 September, 2017 Issue No 124 PAGE 19 CLASSIFIEDS precedent-setting, positive outcome ready started the process of drafting the Ms Roulstone thanked her legal team the National Conservation Council, and that protects the democratic rights of all type of general law that the Court has encouraged the Governor to convene a citizens,” the Group said.Health City Caymansaid is Islandsrequired.
