While standing by his criticisms over the failure of judges to write decisions within the required time, Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC has acknowledged the challenge posed by their limited numbers and assured that government is moving apace to address the issue.
He was at the time responding to acting Chancellor Yonette Cummings-Edwards’ recent rebuff of what she called the condemnation of the judiciary by persons whom she said “should know better” given that judges were doing their best to deliver justice despite their limited numbers.
In his weekly Facebook programme “Issues in the News,” aired on Tuesday, Nandlall said that the failure of judges to write decisions in a timely manner has been a long-standing issue for which a law had to be enacted requiring them to render their written decisions within a six-month timeframe.
