NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Supreme Court has rejected a second bid by Acting Senior Magistrate Aniska Isaacs to block her reassignment while she challenges the decision through judicial review.
Isaacs was moved to the post of Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court following complaints about her by several defence lawyers.
She wants the move put on hold while the court considers her challenge to the Judicial and Legal Services Commission’s decision, which she argues was procedurally unfair.
However, in a recent ruling, Justice Leif Farquharson said Isaacs had not shown any significant change in circumstances to justify reversing an earlier refusal.
The judge stressed that his ruling does not determine whether the reassignment was lawful.
Isaacs was ordered to pay legal costs, while her formal judicial review challenge remains pending.
