The Court of Appeal has overturned a judge's decision to uphold a novel constitutional challenge over this country's homophobic buggery and serious indecency laws.
It was a split decision with Appellate Judges Nolan Bereaux and Charmaine Pemberton siding with the State's appeal in the landmark case brought by LGBTQI+ activist Jason Jones.
Justice of Appeal Vasheist Kokaram delivered a dissenting judgment supporting the initial ruling in the case by High Court Judge Devindra Rampersad in 2018.
