CCJ makes landmark evidence ruling today
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - THE CARIBBEAN Court of Justice's (CCJ) trip to Barbados will be highlighted by a landmark evidentiary ruling today.
The CCJ's decision, expected this morning, is one that could set a precedent on statements of evidence, what documents are fit for evidence and how their admissibility will be treated.
The ruling became necessary when Jamaican lawyer Nancy Anderson, representing Shanique Myrie in her discrimination case against the Barbados Government, attempted to have the statements of two persons interviewed by a Barbadian police sergeant admitted into evidence through the policeman, and not through evidence provided by the persons themselves who could then be cross-examined or re-examined by lawyers in the case.
