There is no alternative to the CCJ, says Golding

KINGSTON, Jamaica—Opposition Leader Mark Golding is doubling down on his call for the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) to become the country’s final appellate court, arguing that there is no alternative.

Golding, in a statement on Wednesday, pushed back at claims by Justice Minister Delroy Chuck that the Opposition is using accession to the CCJ as a tactic to delay constitutional reform.

But Golding said the Opposition is calling for a move toward republican status and accession to the CCJ together.
