A pair of sib­lings from south Trinidad are set to re­ceive over $10 mil­lion in com­pen­sa­tion from the State over the un­law­ful sus­pen­sion of their li­cences for their gas sta­tions in 2012.

In 2020, the Unit­ed King­dom-based Privy Coun­cil up­held Prakash and Adesh Ma­haraj’s case over a de­ci­sion by for­mer En­er­gy Min­is­ter Kevin Ram­nar­ine to sus­pend their li­cences for gas sta­tions in Fyz­abad and King’s Wharf in San Fer­nan­do.

While the British Law Lords found that the sib­lings were en­ti­tled to sig­nif­i­cant com­pen­sa­tion, they re­mit­ted the is­sue back to the lo­cal courts.
