The applicant therefore needs special leave which we refuse because the application does not raise an arguable point of law. |
| JCPC/2025/0028 Christopher Sydney (Appellant) v Rhonda Sydney (Respondent) (Trinidad and Tobago) | Lord Briggs Lord Leggatt Lord Stephens | Refused 28 July 2025 | The application does not raise an arguable point of law.

| JCPC/2025/0060 The Father (Respondent) v The Mother (Appellant) (Trinidad and Tobago) | Lord Reed Lord Burrows Lord Stephens | Refused 30 September 2025 | No appeal lies of right, as there has been no final decision involving a question as to the interpretation of the Constitution and the appeal raises no question of great general or public importance. There is no basis for granting special leave to appeal. |
| JCPC/2025/0046 Sanahie’s Holding Limited (Appellant) v Andre Ramirez (appointed administrator ad litem of the estate of Evelyn Ayers) (Respondent) (Trinidad and Tobago) N/A | Lord Briggs Lord Sales Lady Simler | Refused 01 October 2025 | Permission to appeal is refused on the ground that the appeal wholly devoid of merit.
