THE Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago (LATT) has pushed back against Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s criticism of its members following its statement on the appointment of new Chief Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh.

The LATT reaffirmed its statutory responsibility to comment on matters of public interest, saying it will continue to act without “fear or favour”.

In a media release issued yesterday and signed by its president Lynette Seebaran-Suite, SC, the LATT noted the Prime Minister’s remarks made on Thursday in response to its earlier statement.
