Judgment given[2009] UKPC 50Case summary:The issue raised by the appeal is whether the Attorney General and/or the Statutory Authorities Services Commission (SASC) is the correct defendant in the constitutional proceedings brought by the respondent.

The Court of Appeal reversed the High Court's decision. The issue requires the consideration of whether, and/or in what circumstances, the Attorney General should be made a defendant to constitutional proceedings. This is of general importance to the law of Trinidad and Tobago.
