(Trinidad Express) – Senior Counsel Desmond Allum leads a battery of 25 attorneys who have requested a Special General Meeting of the Law Association to “consider, discuss, move and pass” a no-confidence motion in John Jeremie as Attorney General and as titular head of the Bar of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
A date for this meeting is to be announced shortly. Officials of the Law Association said they will respond to the request of the members for this meeting shortly.
The motion is being filed on the basis of Jeremie’s record and refers specifically to the exchange of correspondence as disclosed exclusively in the Sunday Express of May 31, between former director of public prosecutions, now a High Court judge, Geoffrey Henderson, and Jeremie.
The motion, also signed by veteran senior counsel Theodore Guerra, noted that Henderson felt constrained to write: “I am not subject to your directions. Your continued efforts to have me initiate charges against certain persons are highly improper and should they continue, can imperil the successful prosecution of any charge initiated in the matters under investigations.”
