[2018] CCJ 13 (AJ) contrary to law, failed to observe procedures required by law, an abuse of power, in conflict with ROPA and the Constitution of Barbados, an error of law and a breach of or omission to perform a duty under the AJA. The CEO argued inter alia that the action filed by Professor Ventose was premature because he failed and/or refused to await a decision and failed to make a written request for information regarding his registration status. As a result, there was no administrative act or omission and his application for judicial review amounted to an abuse of process.
