For­mer Pub­lic Ser­vices As­so­ci­a­tion (PSA) pres­i­dent Wat­son Duke will have to wait well over a year to learn the fate of his law­suit over the re­fusal of the union to pay him a pen­sion.

High Court Judge Maris­sa Robert­son set the tri­al of Duke's case for May 18 and 19, 2027, dur­ing a sta­tus hear­ing yes­ter­day.

In June, last year, Duke filed the law­suit con­tend­ing that the union breached his em­ploy­ment con­tract by fail­ing to pay his al­leged­ly le­git­i­mate pen­sion af­ter he re­signed from the post in De­cem­ber 2021 in or­der to ful­fil his short-lived role as To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA) deputy chief sec­re­tary.
