Chester Vs. Arzu, Round 949
posted (June 30, 2020)
Last night, we showed you the brief court hearing that Justice Sonya Young held yesterday to start addressing another application that Corporal Eldon Arzu has brought against the Commissioner of Police.

He is attempting to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to bring a claim for judicial review. According to Arzu, the Commissioner did not follow the rules of the Police Association's election process, when he delayed in setting a date for the election, until 6 months later.

2 weeks ago, Arzu and his slate were defeated by the new Chairman-Elect of the Association Sergeant Jane Usher and her team. But, from Arzu's perspective, the nomination process should not have been extended in the manner that the ComPol allowed. He is complaining to the court that these extensions were arbitrary.

The court will attempt to adjudicate this dispute over the upcoming months, but Police Commissioner Chester Williams is adamant that Arzu's case is full of holes. Here's what he had to say today:

The case returns to court on July 9th.
