The Law As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (LATT) has called up­on all par­tic­i­pants in pub­lic life to re­frain from mak­ing se­ri­ous al­le­ga­tions that can­not be sub­stan­ti­at­ed or prop­er­ly in­ves­ti­gat­ed, and if par­tic­u­lars of the claims can­not be pro­vid­ed, un­ver­i­fi­able ac­cu­sa­tions ought to be pub­licly with­drawn.

The as­so­ci­a­tion made its call in a state­ment yes­ter­day, weigh­ing in on the pub­lic dis­course con­cern­ing mem­bers of the Sen­ate.

This fol­lowed re­cent pub­lic state­ments made in con­nec­tion with the de­feat of the Law Re­form (Zones of Spe­cial Op­er­a­tions) (Spe­cial Se­cu­ri­ty and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment Mea­sures) Bill, 2026, in the Sen­ate on Tues­day.
