High Court judge Gertel Thom has reserved judgment in the dual citizenship case involving Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and his Education Minister Petter St. Jean.
Leader of the main opposition United Workers Party Ron Green and defeated candidate in the 2009 general election, Mathew Maynard, are asking the court to rule that Skerrit and St. Jean were ineligible to contest the polls when they were nominated at the last general election.
They are contending that the prime minister and the education minister are in breach of the constitution as they held dual citizenship.
