Privy Council Rules In Favour of Barbudans

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

Residents of Barbuda who have been actively opposing the construction of an international airport on Barbuda have just won a significant victory.

The Privy Council, which is the highest court of appeal in the country, has ruled in favor of the appellants, John Mussington and Jackie Frank.

The London-based court has determined that the pair have legal standing to challenge the government’s granting of a development permit and have presented sufficient evidence to show that due processes were not followed in the decision-making process.

This ruling is a major breakthrough for the Barbudan community and a significant blow to the government’s plans for the airport
