A Sovereignty Party candidate in Barbados' 2022 poll has filed a constitutional motion against the state over delays in hearing an election appeal.
He claims voters under COVID-19 quarantine were disenfranchised.
Phillip Nathaniel Catlyn was a candidate for the Sovereignty Party in the St. Thomas constituency.
The motion, lodged in the High Court on Thursday by Catlyn's lawyer, Lalu Hanuman, seeks vindicatory damages among other remedies.
Catlyn is also seeking further relief as deemed fit by the court.
He argues that thousands of electors, then quarantined for COVID, were deprived of their rights because the Electoral and Boundaries Commission made no provision for them to vote.
