The Mia Mottley administration has delayed all business in the Senate pending a decision from the High Court on whether the Upper Chamber may sit with three vacancies still to be filled.Attorney General Dale Marshall on Monday declared that to continue operating as normal under the circumstances, would “cast a pall” over the work of the hallowed institution.He said although the Government is confident that the business of the Senate could be legally conducted, the unresolved court matter could place some independent senators in an uncomfortable position.“We have decided that at least until the case is heard, to have the Senate continue to meet would first of all put some senators in an uncomfortable position, because lacking the certainty of a decision, some senators might have their own personal discomforts about participating,” Marshall told Barbados TODAY.
