President of the Industrial Court Heather Seale is advising the country’s employers and business leaders to understand the Industrial Court’s powers and procedures so they can successfully navigate their matters there.
“It is my view, that the best approach for employers to take, in successfully steering their matters through the Industrial Court is to become well acquainted with the Court’s jurisdiction and its powers as set out primarily in the Industrial Relations Act, Chapter 88:01 (‘the IRA/the Act’) and other relevant statutes. The Court’s jurisdiction and its powers have also been addressed over time in papers, articles and judgments of the Court, as well as by the Court of Appeal and the Privy Council,” she said.
Seale spoke at a panel discussion hosted by the T&T Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Westmoorings on the topic of “Navigating the Industrial Court: Key considerations and bestpractices for employers” on February 21.
