Episode Details

Guyana’s top labor union is demanding an internal probe into the Caribbean Court of Justice after leaked documents reveal five out of six judges accusing its president of authoritarian behavior and undermining judicial democracy. The controversy centers on allegations that a dissenting judge was removed from a panel over a legal disagreement, raising concerns about how panels are assembled — especially in politically charged cases. While the GTUC doesn’t dispute the court’s rulings, it insists transparency and impartiality are non-negotiable for public trust. The CCJ has defended its independence and pledged a thorough review, but regional support is mixed, with fears this scandal could damage the court’s credibility and revive calls to return to the Privy Council — a move the GTUC warns could weaken regional judicial unity.
