Businessman Danny Guerra’s challenge of his preventive detention under the state of emergency before the Emergency Review Tribunal has been stalled to give attorneys for the Minister of Homeland Security time to submit written submissions.

Guerra’s review came up for hearing before the review tribunal on December 18, but was adjourned after the minister’s attorneys, led by Anand Ramlogan, SC, asked for time to file written submissions.

Guerra’s lead attorney, Richard Thomas, KC, who leads Nerisa Bala and Emily Rampersad, objected, arguing that the minister did not comply with the practice directions that govern such reviews.
