…condemns leak of Judges’ internal correspondence

The Bar Council of the Bar Association of Guyana has expressed concern over media reports concerning the leak of internal correspondence among Judges of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), warning that the disclosure of confidential communications could undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.

In a statement dated August 10, 2026, the Bar Council said the CCJ, as Guyana’s final appellate court and the only court with jurisdiction to interpret and apply the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, must remain an institution whose integrity is respected and protected.
