The High Court has ruled that the Registration Recognition and Certification Board (RRCB) acted unlawfully when it determined that a former manager at the Regulated Industries Commission (RIC) was not a “worker” under the Industrial Relations Act (IRA).

Justice Devindra Rampersad delivered the decision on November 7.

Justice Rampersad granted an order of certiorari to quash the RRCB’s July 10, 2023, decision and directed it to reconsider the matter, taking into account the Regulated Industries Commission Act, Chapter 54:73, which distinguishes between the commission’s upper management and other employees.
