CCJ Under Fire But Still Vital | Jamaica News
Description
Veteran attorney Bert Samuels dismisses recent allegations against the Caribbean Court of Justice as political fodder, insisting the court’s integrity and regional importance remain unshaken. He warns that undermining the CCJ risks repeating the collapse of the West Indies Federation, and argues that Caribbean judges better understand local justice needs than British-appointed ones. Samuels also highlights how financial and logistical barriers prevent many from accessing the Privy Council, effectively denying them justice. Meanwhile, Jamaica’s Senate President calls for a public inquiry, citing potential fallout on Jamaica’s planned adoption of the CCJ as its final appellate court.
