Court of Appeal Tosses 20+ Orders in Enriquez Election Case

Jeremy Enriquez and his team are celebrating a big legal win. After months of courtroom battles, more than twenty court orders against them have just been thrown out by the Court of Appeal. You might remember back in March, Enriquez tried to stop the 2025 General Election, arguing it was unconstitutional. That effort didn’t succeed at the High Court, so he took the fight to the Court of Appeal. But things took a dramatic turn during those proceedings. Enriquez claims that during a break, a judge’s microphone was accidentally left on, and what he heard shocked him. According to Enriquez, Justice Towanda Hondora was overheard saying he had already made up his mind to dismiss the case. That led to a formal complaint and a call for an investigation. Instead of an investigation, Enriquez says he was hit with a gag order, one of more than twenty orders he claims were issued by the same judge. But now, the Court of Appeal has wiped those orders off the books. So, what’s next for Enriquez and his legal crusade? We spoke with him earlier today for an update.

 

Jeremy Enriquez, Claimant

“Before hearing all our submissions and arguments. He had made some biased statements which we recognized that we had no faith in his judgment. I took that matter, The recording included and filed a complaint to the Judicial and Legal Services Commission about the conduct of the judge in our case. The Judicial and Legal Services Commission received our complaint, acknowledged receipt of the complaint, but did nothing about it. Nothing definitive to address what we were asking for is a investigation into the misconduct of the judge and therefore but that did not happen. Twice asked the Judicial Legal Services Commission for even an update. Once after we submitted our first complaint and still nothing happened. Therefore, we applied to the high court to ask for the recusal of that judge from any other case that involves us. And even during our complaint. The Judicial and Legal Services Commission, the judge went ahead and issued orders without trial, so we did not even have without hearing. So he went ahead and made some orders, which included a gag order against my attorney and I which we challenged in the Court of Appeal and which we were successful in having the Court of Appeal withdraw. That order and the number of twenty orders that we’ve had against us.”
