The Police Complaints Authority's (PCA) director and deputy director have been permitted to amend their judicial review claim against the Salaries Review Commission's (SRC) recommendations on their salaries to add the Cabinet as an interested party.

PCA director David West and Michelle Solomon-Baksh, deputy director, allege the Cabinet acted unlawfully when it revised their salaries based on the SRC’s 120th Report to the President, dated October 24, 2024. They argue the report violated the principles of natural justice and that they were denied the opportunity to be heard before the recommendations.

Their amended application seeks to quash the Cabinet’s decision, contained in Minister of Finance Circular No. 11 of 2024, dated December 23, 2024, and bar any further changes to their terms based on the SRC report.
