KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Supreme Court has rejected an application by the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) seeking access to an investigative report prepared by the Integrity Commission (IC) into allegations of corruption, impropriety and irregularities involving the storage of firearms and ammunition and the granting of firearm licences.

In a ruling delivered in chambers, Justice Tara Carr held that the report remains confidential under the Integrity Commission Act (ICA) until it is formally tabled in Parliament.

In refusing the application, Justice Carr found that disclosure of the report was unnecessary at this stage of the proceedings, noting that the court already had sufficient information to determine the issues arising at the leave stage.
