A United States-trained nurse has lost her lawsuit challenging the refusal of the Nursing Council of Trinidad and Tobago to register her locally.

High Court Judge Devindra Rampersad dismissed the claim brought by Mikali Hamel-Smith, finding that the council’s decision could not be faulted.

Justice Rampersad ruled that the council acted within its discretion and in accordance with the law.
