Case Name	Justices	PTA	Reasons given
JCPC/2025/0049 - Warns Quarry Company Limited and 16 others (Appellants) v The Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago (Respondent) (Trinidad and Tobago)	Lord Reed Lord Leggatt Lord Doherty	Refused 02 March 2026	The appeal does not raise an arguable point of law of general public importance which the Judicial Committee ought to hear at this time.
JCPC/2025/0033 - Chad Antoine (Appellant) v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago (Respondent) (Trinidad and Tobago) CA P202/2020	Lord Sales Lord Stephens Lady Simler	Refused 02 March 2026	There was an appeal as of right, but the Court of Appeal refused to grant leave. The appellant therefore requires special leave from the Board. Special leave is refused because the appeal is devoid of merit.
