A HIGH COURT JUDGE has ruled that the Trinidad Transport Board’s handling of an appeal by an auto mechanic and vehicle examiner was constitutionally unfair.

In a strongly worded judgment, Justice Westmin James held that the process was tainted by bias, lack of disclosure and the improper involvement of the Transport Commissioner, who revoked James Nancoo’s authorisation as a certified vehicle examiner and the purported termination of his business, A2Z Auto Repairs Centre Ltd, as an approved testing station in 2019.

In his lawsuit, Nancoo challenged the fairness of the appeal process before the Trinidad Transport Board.
