CCJ delays ruling in Myrie case

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has reserved its decision on the application by the Jamaican government to join in the Shanique Myrie case.
Myrie, a Jamaican, has taken the Barbadian Government to the CCJ on allegations that she was sexually assaulted by an immigration officer at the Grantley Adams International Airport last year.
Jamaica’s application to intervene in the case was heard yesterday by three CCJ judges led by its president Sir Charles Byron via video link to the Supreme Court.
The application was made by Dr Kathy-Ann Brown, the deputy solicitor general and O’Neil Francis, Crown Counsel from the Attorney General’s Department. (Jamaica Observer)
