A High Court judge has ruled that the Minister of Trade and Industry failed to establish a lawful appeal process against decisions by the TT Laboratory Accreditation Service (TTLAS).
In a ruling on February 25, Justice Kevin Ramcharan held Kaizen Environmental Services (Trinidad) Ltd was denied its constitutional right to a fair hearing of the TTLAS’s suspension of its accreditation.
Ramcharan found the minister was legally obligated to prescribe an appeals process for decisions made by TTLAS under Regulation 46 of the Standards Act, Chapter 82:03, but failed to do so.
