One day after its severe reprimand of Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC, on whose Facebook page a post was made announcing the outcome of an at-the-time embargoed judgment, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has officially issued a statement on the issue said it served to bring the entire administration of justice into disrepute.
Reemphasizing that it was “extremely disappointed” at learning that the post had been made on the Facebook page of head of the local Bar, the CCJ said the premature, unauthorized disclosure of the result of the litigation is “inexcusable.”
The Court was blunt in saying that the post emanating from the page of the Attorney General (AG) “apparently on the part of a staffer,” as is Nandlall’s claim, places the administration of justice itself in disrepute.
