Sev­er­al judges of the In­dus­tri­al Court of Trinidad and To­ba­go are now in lim­bo, fol­low­ing a de­ci­sion by the new Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) Cab­i­net to re­scind a cab­i­net note on their reap­point­ments from the pre­vi­ous Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment ad­min­is­tra­tion.

Guardian Me­dia has learned that the re­scind­ed note, re­port­ed­ly draft­ed by for­mer at­tor­ney gen­er­al Regi­nald Ar­mour, in­clud­ed rec­om­men­da­tions for both reap­point­ments of ex­ist­ing judges and new ap­point­ments.
