President of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), Justice Winston Anderson, has responded to reports of allegations of internal tensions and judicial panel manipulation at the regional court, strongly rejecting claims that panels were altered to influence case outcomes.

In a detailed statement, Anderson condemned the unauthorised leaking of confidential court communications, saying it undermines judicial independence and public confidence.

He explained that a decision to remove a judge from a panel was based solely on concerns over judicial attire and not the judge’s views on a case.
