The government will answer the Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL) at the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), President Bharrat Jagdeo said on Tuesday, describing the company’s track record as one of profiteering.
In a historic case – the first time that the regional court has been approached in its original jurisdiction – TCL and TCL Guyana Inc (TGI) have applied to the court pursuant to Article 222 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and Part 10 of the Caribbean Court of Justice (Original Jurisdiction) Rules of 2006 for special leave to commence proceedings against the Guyana Government over its failure to apply the Common External Tariff on cement in accordance with the revised treaty.
