The Privy Council has indicated that it will not rush to hear the matter involving businessman Dominic Hadeed and his wife, Genevieve.

The Express learnt that the Privy Council's Registrar informed attorneys via email this morning that the Council's President and Deputy President had considered the papers in the case and directed that the matter not be rushed.

“The Court does not wish to deal with the appeal in a rush in the last few days of term, and that it appears to us that the immediate issue of the Respondents' continued detention could be addressed more conveniently by means of an application by the Respondents to lift the stay.”
