The C.C.J. ruled that the law in Guyana, which makes it a criminal offence for a man or a woman to appear in a public place while dressed in clothing of the opposite sex for an “improper purpose”, is unconstitutional. The C.C.J. struck down the law, saying that this law was from a different time and no longer served any legitimate purpose in Guyana. The decision was read by C.C.J. President, Justice Adrian Saunders.
