A so­cial me­dia ac­tivist has been giv­en the green light to sue the Of­fice of the Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er over its fail­ure to re­spond to a re­quest for dis­clo­sure of in­for­ma­tion re­lat­ed to a British law firm that was re­tained by the for­mer Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) Gov­ern­ment to as­sist in probes in­to al­leged cor­rup­tion in their pre­de­ces­sors’ tenure.

In a re­cent de­ci­sion, High Court Judge Maris­sa Robert­son grant­ed Vishal Per­sad, who runs the blog Mil­len­ni­als for Change, leave to pur­sue a ju­di­cial re­view case over the is­sue.
