Concerns raised by People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) leader Aubrey Norton about Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) President Justice Winston Anderson’s involvement in Guyana’s judicial affairs have resurfaced with greater force following revelations of a deepening internal dispute among judges of the regional court.
The Trinidad Sunday Express reported on Sunday, August 9, 2026, that leaked internal correspondence had exposed serious divisions within the CCJ over Anderson’s leadership. Five of the court’s six sitting judges reportedly raised concerns about his management of the institution, including allegations of “dictatorial” leadership, “panel fixing” and attempts to influence judicial decisions.
The reported concerns also involve the composition of judicial panels, the removal of a judge from a case, judicial deliberations, administrative management and a proposed judicial dress code. The allegations have not been independently established, but their reported source—correspondence among sitting judges—has raised serious questions about the court’s internal governance and judicial independence.
