THE Court of Appeal has ruled that the Special Tribunal overstepped its legal authority when it decided to make salary awards for civil servants beyond the years that were actually in dispute between the government and the Public Services Association (PSA).

The judgment, delivered by Justice of Appeal Vasheist Kokaram, confirmed that the Special Tribunal can only make decisions based on disputes formally referred to it.

Also presiding over the CPO's appeal were Justices of Appeal Mira Dean-Armorer and Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell.
