The High Court has ruled that the his­toric Break­fast Shed may con­tin­ue op­er­at­ing pend­ing a full tri­al sched­uled for Jan­u­ary 2027, in a de­ci­sion wel­comed by its man­age­ment as a mea­sure of sta­bil­i­ty for ven­dors and pa­trons.

Robert Le Hunte, pres­i­dent of Femmes du Chalet Co-op­er­a­tive So­ci­ety Lim­it­ed, said the rul­ing, de­liv­ered to­day, al­lows the long-stand­ing food hub to re­main open while the sub­stan­tive dis­pute with the Ur­ban De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (UDe­COTT) is de­ter­mined. Le Hunte was rep­re­sent­ed in court by Se­nior Coun­sel Kei­th Scot­land, as­sist­ed by at­tor­ney Al­liyah Cave, while UDe­COTT was rep­re­sent­ed by Ger­ald Ramdeen.

The court or­dered that an ex­ist­ing in­junc­tion re­main in place un­til the mat­ter is ful­ly heard, ef­fec­tive­ly pre­serv­ing the cur­rent op­er­a­tional sta­tus of the Break­fast Shed.
