Acting Chief Roxane George-Wiltshire SC has ruled that there is nothing unlawful in the Police Service Commission (PSC) not promoting officers who have pending disciplinary matters against them.

Among other things, the Chief Justice also declared that there exists no legitimate expectation for promotion, as it is neither a right nor entitlement.

These were some of the pronouncements Justice George-Wiltshire made yesterday when she delivered her judgment in the action brought by Senior Superintendent of Police Calvin Brutus, who was challenging the promotion of police officers who he said have pending disciplinary matters.
