Challenging the constitutionality of the National Identification and Registration Act 2017 (NIDS Act)

On May 8, 2018, I filed an action in the Supreme Court seeking a declaration that sections of the NIDS Act are unconstitutional. This action was taken on behalf of many Jamaicans who have deep concerns about aspects of this Act. I wish to state that I support the implementation of a National Identification System but one which does not abrogate nor infringe the rights of the Jamaican people.
Attached is summary document outlining the specific provisions in the Act which we find unconstitutional.
I am also attaching the Fixed Date Claim Form which was filed in the Court as well as my Affidavit.
