Government has instructed its attorneys to take the Court of Appeal’s recent ruling on the case involving the Auditor General to the Privy Council.

According to the Finance Ministry, the Court of Appeal allowed the Auditor General’s appeal of the trial judge’s decision in the High Court.

The trial judge had refused to grant leave to the Auditor General to apply for judicial review of Cabinet’s decision to investigate alleged issues with the Report of the Auditor General on the Public Accounts for the Financial Year 2023.

The Ministry said Minister Colm Imbert sought advice from Senior Counsel and has told government’s lawyers to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council as an urgent matter.
