TRAVEL agent Philip Ramdial, who was locked outside of Trinidad and Tobago (while leading a tour) during the covid pandemic says he is weighing his legal options in light of the landmark September 29 Appeal Court ruling.

Justices of Appeal Nolan Bereaux, Mark Mohammed and Ronnie Boodoosingh ruled that the lockdown policy was draconian and breached the rights of two female litigants – Raehana Lorick and Joanne Pantin – who were among many people the former PNM government refused entry to TT in seeking to prevent the spread of covid.

The court said the women suffered financial and emotional strain, with the state of one woman "dire and exceptional."
