Hiram Edwards sought enforcement of a 2014 Court of Appeal ruling declaring that the Minister of Finance had unlawfully withheld pension payments. The Accountant General later reassessed the case and withheld $154,525.37, arguing it was lawfully deducted under the Public Treasury (Administration and Payments) Act 1969. Edwards challenged this as res judicata and an abuse of process, claiming the government could not legally recover the funds. The Supreme Court ruled that the Accountant General had the legal right to reconsider and withhold the pension overpayments, dismissing the claim.
