Regional support for CCJ a must
ROSEAU, Dominica, Barbados Nation– Prominent regional jurist, Sir Brian Alleyne, says he is optimistic that Caribbean countries will come soon to the realisation that they all need to join the Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
But Sir Brian, the former Acting Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, says it is also necessary for the regional countries to allow for much debate on the court that was established in 2001 to replace the London-based Privy Council as the regional final court.
“As you know I am very strong supporter of the idea of the region moving to its own independent and regional final court. I am supportive of the move; I regret however there has not been enough public consultation and discussion of the issue.”
