Opposition MP for Barataria/San Juan Saddam Hosein wants the prime minister to trigger Section 137 of the Constitution and empower a tribunal to investigate the conduct of Chief Justice Ivor Archie in relation to the resignation as a judge of former chief magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Hosein who is an attorney, said the Privy Council's ruling that Ayers-Caesar was pressured by the Judicial and Legal Service Commission (JLSC) which is led by Archie into resigning as a High Court judge on the basis that she had left too many part-heard cases in abeyance in the magistrate courts.
The JLSC petitioned TT's apex court – the Privy Council – after the Court of Appeal ruled in Ayers-Caesar's favour that she was coerced into resigning and that the prescribed law used for the removal of judges was not used or adhered to.
