Charlie Good has passed on, but his widow Hirian Good has taken the fight to get her job back to the Supreme Court. This morning she showed up at court with a framed picture of her Charlie Good. That is because the judicial review of the Ministry of Education’s decision to terminate her should have begun in the Chief Justice’s courtroom but it didn’t. It was held in chambers and her attorney Arthur Saldivar explained that the case was adjourned because government claims it wasn’t properly served.
Arthur Saldivar, Attorney for Hirian Good
“The Chief Justice convened and we were have the hearing in camera but however as a result of the Attorney General not receiving a copy of the documents, they didn’t have a chance to review it prior to coming here this morning and leave has been given for them to be fixed, for those documents.”
Keith Swift,
“Whose fault is that?”
Arthur Saldivar,
“Well my shoulders are broad, I accept culpability. The legal attorney for the government which is the Sol Gen’s office claims that they did not receive. My office has indicated that it has been sent. Now my shoulders are broad, I will not pass the buck.”
Rowland Parks, Amandala
“Mr. Saldivar how confident are you that you will prevail in this case against the government on behalf of Mrs. Good?”
Arthur Saldivar,
“Well the facts are well known and the principles of law are well established. I would not want to venture further than that because as any attorney would tell you there are always litigation risks. Each case is distinguishable on its own facts and its own merits. But I do believe that we have a strong case, a strong position.”
The case was adjourned to Monday.
