High Court Validates Constitutional Appointments | Trinidad and Tobago News

A High Court judge has ruled that two former Police Service Commission appointees didn’t meet constitutional qualifications — but their past decisions stand. The case, brought by late diplomat Reginald Dumas who died earlier this year, challenged whether the appointees had sufficient expertise in law, finance, sociology, or management.
