The Law Association (LATT) wants the savings law clause in the Constitution removed.

The clause “saves” colonial-era laws from being challenged on constitutional grounds, even if they conflict with fundamental rights.

In a statement on April 2, the association said the recent ruling from the Court of Appeal in the Jason Jones’ case, which challenged the constitutionality of TT’s buggery laws, highlighted the “need for urgent constitutional reform to remove the savings law clause.”
