The “law is an ass” kept reverberating in my head when I heard about the verdict and fine handed down in the case of an adult male who induced a 5-year old boy left in his care, to perform sexual acts on him – a $2,100 fine, $1,500 to be paid to the government coffers and $600 to be paid for counselling services to the child. What a travesty! What insult! What indignity to the personhood of the child and his family!! Less we forget, it is INJUSTICES like these which cause those who have been violated to take the law into their own hands with TRAGIC consequences for all!!
The issue at hand is that Mt. Pure was denied a vendors licence to sell its products at official Carnival events since a competitor, Glenelg already had an agreement/arrangement with SMC to be an official sponsor of SMC events and therefore its products enjoy exclusive rights at all official Carnival events.
I write in my personal, individual capacity to offer my solidarity to the Grenada Bar Association for the action taken in demonstrating that it has “come to the end of the rope” re the APPALLING situation of the High Court’s inability to sit.
I take this opportunity to write to you in my individual capacity, as a citizen and member of the electorate – unschooled in law and legal interpretation – to offer (an) observation(s) and request clarification in respect of the Agreement to Establish the CCJ that will replace the Appeals to Privy Council Order via the proposed Constitution of Grenada (Caribbean Court of Justice and Renaming of the Supreme Court) (Amendment) Bill , 2018.
