THE Office of the Attorney General yesterday issued what it said was a clarification following the “misrepresentation” of correspondence from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the matter involving Dominic Hadeed and Genevieve Hadeed and the State.

According to a release from the AG’s office, the State sought leave to appeal to the Privy Council on July 17 after a Court of Appeal ruling.

A differently constituted Court of Appeal granted leave and imposed a stay of the earlier decision, resulting in the Hadeeds remaining in prison while the appeal proceeded.
