QUEEN’S COUNSEL HAL GOLLOP has raised concern about “the protection of rights and the misuse of power by people who hold authority”in the court system.

His comments came after his client, who was on remand, was not brought to court yesterday, the adjourned date for his case. The client was reportedly not brought down because the magistrate was absent. ricky-kenneth-yearwood
