LAWYERS FOR WORKERS forced into retirement by the Barbados Investment and Development Corporation (BIDC) moved yesterday to halt the corporation’s attempt to have its actions validated.

Nicholls submitted yesterday before Justice Jacqueline Cornelius that the BIDC’s application was too narrow and did not dispose of all the issues that had arisen before the parties involved.
