The Criminal Bar Association has backed former Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley's call for T&T to make the Caribbean Court of Justice (C.C.J.) the final Court of Appeal and leave the Privy Council.
“We have right here, within the Caribbean jurisdictions very brilliant jurists and it is disappointing that our people cannot free themselves from “mental slavery” vis á vis the development of our own jurisprudence” said Israel Khan SC, who heads the association.
He added, "In the near future both the Opposition and Government should put their heads together and thus speak with one voice. “We want the C.C.J. as our Apex Court”."
