CARICOM Heads of Government have agreed to seek an advisory opinion from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in an effort to resolve the dispute surrounding the reappointment of the community's secretary-general.

The decision was announced following the CARICOM Heads of Government Retreat on Monday, where Trinidad and Tobago maintained its objection to the process used to reappoint Secretary-General Dr Carla Barnett.
