The matter, which is before Supreme court Judge, Brassington Reynolds, has been deferred to July 12.
Kissoon is represented by a panel of Attorneys which includes Christopher Ram, Nigel Hughes and Khemraj Ramjattan.
On the opposing side, Attorneys –at- law, Bernard De Santos (SC) and Sase Gunraj are providing legal representation for Jagdeo.
