For­mer Ca­lyp­so Monarch Du­ane O’Con­nor has suf­fered a sec­ond de­feat in his le­gal bat­tle over fac­ing a dis­ci­pli­nary charge for seek­ing to con­test the lo­cal gov­ern­ment elec­tions in 2019.

De­liv­er­ing a judg­ment yes­ter­day, Ap­pel­late Judges Char­maine Pem­ber­ton, Gillian Lucky, and James Aboud dis­missed O’Con­nor’s ap­peal, in which he claimed that a High Court Judge was wrong to have re­ject­ed his ju­di­cial re­view and con­sti­tu­tion­al mo­tion law­suit chal­leng­ing the dis­ci­pli­nary ac­tion tak­en against him.

The ap­peal pan­el ruled that the de­ci­sion of their col­league, Jus­tice Robin Mo­hammed, could not be fault­ed.
