Immigration officials review ‘Myrie decision’

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Immigration authorities will spend time over the next few weeks reviewing the historic ruling by Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) with a commitment to adding to legislation already being drafted on immigration reform if this is deemed necessary.
Yesterday, Immigration, Labour and National Security Minister Dr Errol Cort told OBSERVER Radio’s Big Issues, “We had carried out extensive consultations on immigration reform and are in the process of finalising recommendations.
“A legal draftsperson was put in place just two weeks ago to finalise that draft before going to Parliament for any amendment to the Immigration Act. In that regard, any issues coming out of this decision would be looked at in terms of how we handle these matters,” Dr Cort said.
