The State has been ordered to pay compensation to a retired teacher, who the Ministry of Education delayed reassessing for promotion when she learned she was not promoted almost five years after she was officially informed.
Last Friday, High Court Judge Frank Seepersad upheld Deborah Cassim’s case over breaches of her constitutional rights.
While Justice Seepersad ruled that Cassim is entitled to compensation for the breaches, he did not quantify such and referred that aspect to a High Court Master to assess at a later date.
