Following the conclusion of evidence on fact, the court transitioned to hearing from the petitioners’ expert witness. Senior Counsel Anand Ramlogan, lead attorney for the respondents, launched a vigorous challenge against the witness’s testimony. The petitioners’ legal team characterized the defense’s objections as a standard tactical maneuver. Justice Gertel Thom is expected to rule on the admissibility of the expert evidence and the objections raised by the defense when the court reconvenes. The ruling will be a critical juncture in the case, determining how the expert testimony will—or will not—proceed as the court continues to weigh the constitutional eligibility of the two high-profile officials.
